Method and Devices of Communication in a Computing Network using Switch Proxy

A scale-up switch comprising:

• a processor configured to couple communicatively to a compute component of a scale-up network and to a scale-out fabric of a scale-out network, the scale-up network and the scale-out network being part of a computing network, the processor further configured to:
• receive a command packet generated by the compute component, the command packet including a destination identifier and a memory address;
• identify a destination compute component of the computing network based on the command packet received;
• determine if the destination compute component is in a scale-up network or the scale-out network;
• and
• responsive to the destination compute component being in the scale-out network:
• translate the command packet received into a network message, the translating including mapping the destination identifier into a network address and mapping the memory offset to a network resource index;
• and
• transmit the network message to the scale-out fabric.

A hardware description language (HDL) design structure encoded on a machine readable data storage medium, said HDL design structure comprising elements that when processed in a computer-aided design system generates a machine-executable representation of a scale-up switch, wherein the HDL design structure comprises:

• a first communication module configured to couple communicatively to a compute component of a scale-up network, the scale-up network being part of a computing network;
• a second communication module configured to couple communicatively to a scale-out fabric of a scale-out network, the scale-out fabric being part of the computing network;
• and
• a processing module communicatively coupled to the first communication module and the second communication module, the processing module configured to:
• receive a command packet generated by the compute component, the command packet including a destination identifier and a memory address;
• identify a destination compute component of the computing network based on the command packet received;
• determine if the destination compute component is in the scale-up network or the scale-out network;
• and
• responsive to the destination compute component being in the scale-out network:
• translate the command packet received into a network message, the translating including mapping the destination identifier into a network address and mapping the memory offset to a network resource index;
• and
• transmit the network message to the scale-out fabric.
