Distributed index for fault tolerant object memory fabric

A hardware-based processing node comprising:

• an object memory module comprising object storage storing one or more memory objects, memory object meta-data, and a memory module object directory, wherein:
• each memory object and/or portion of memory objects is created natively within the object memory module and is a managed by the object memory module at a memory layer;
• and
• the memory module object directory indexes all memory objects and/or portions of memory objects within the object memory module in an object index tree comprising node blocks and leaf blocks each differentiated by a type attribute, wherein one or more of the leaf blocks point to locations of the local memory objects within the object memory module;
• and
• the object memory module to process one or more requests based at least in part on the one or more object directories.

A method for storing and managing one or more memory objects in an object memory fabric, the method comprising:

• storing one or more memory objects, memory object meta-data, and a memory module object directory in object storage of an object memory module, wherein:
• each memory object and/or portion of memory objects is created natively within the object memory module and is managed by the object memory module at a memory layer;
• and
• the memory module object directory indexes all memory objects and/or portions of memory objects within the object memory module in an object index tree comprising node blocks and leaf blocks each differentiated by a type attribute, wherein one or more of the leaf blocks point to locations of the local memory objects within the object memory module;
• and
• processing by the object memory module one or more requests based at least in part on the one or more object directories.
