Multiprocessor system with independent direct access to bulk solid state memory resources

A system, comprising:

• a collection of central processing units, wherein each central processing unit is connected to at least one other central processing unit and a root path into solid state memory resources, wherein each central processing unit directly accesses the solid state memory resources without swapping solid state memory contents into a main memory;
• and
• a collection of root processors connected to the collection of central processing units, the collection of root processors configured to organize the solid state memory resources into resource pools, maintain an erasure count for each resource pool, and execute a generational garbage collector protocol in which an assigned generation of a resource pool is periodically altered based upon the erasure count for the resource pool.
