Unreliable, unordered data transfers on a memory fabric

A system comprising:

• a switch;
• an application process;
• logic configured to:
• divide a total payload of a first memory command among a plurality of packets;
• encode a last-transmitted packet of the plurality of packets to include a metadata code in the total payload;
• communicate the packets through the switch;
• write payloads of the packets to a memory in a sequential address order, such that the metadata code is written to a particular address;
• and
• communicate an acknowledgment of the first memory command from the application process through the switch on condition that reading the particular address returns the metadata code.

A data center comprising:

• one or more non-volatile memory comprising machine-readable instructions comprising a first process and a second process;
• logic to implement communication between the first process and the second process, the logic configured to:
• divide a total payload of a first memory command among a plurality of packets;
• encode a last-transmitted packet of the plurality of packets to include a metadata code in the total payload;
• communicate the packets over a network from the first process to the second process;
• write payloads of the packets to a memory in a sequential address order, such that the metadata code is written to a particular address;
• and
• generate an acknowledgment of the first memory command from the second process to the first process on condition that reading the particular address returns the metadata code.
