Techniques for scalable endpoint addressing for parallel applications

A system comprising:

• a first node device comprising:
• a memory;
• a controller coupled to the memory and configured to execute at least one local process, the at least one local process being associated with a region of the memory and a local process identifier;
• circuitry communicatively coupled to the controller and configured to be communicatively coupled to a multi-node network, the circuitry being configured to:
• receive a packet from a remote node via the multi-node network, the packet including a virtual process identifier and at least one memory operation;
• identify a target local process at least in part by translating the virtual process identifier into a local process identifier that corresponds with the target local process;
• and
• cause the at least one memory operation to be performed against a region of memory associated with the target local process.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a plurality of instructions encoded thereon that when executed by at least one processor cause a process to be carried out, the process comprising:

• receiving a packet from a remote node via a multi-node network, the packet including a target virtual process identifier and at least one memory operation;
• translating the virtual process identifier into a local process identifier that corresponds with a local process;
• and
• causing the at least one memory operation to be performed against a region of memory associated with the local process.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• means for receiving a packet from a remote node via a multi-node network, the packet including a virtual process identifier and at least one memory operation;
• means for identifying a target local process at least in part by translating the virtual process identifier into a local process identifier that corresponds with the target local process;
• and
• means for causing the at least one memory operation to be performed against a region of memory associated with the target local process.
