REDIRECTING DATA TO IMPROVE PAGE LOCALITY IN A SCALABLE DATA FABRIC

Abstract:

A data processing system includes a host processor, a local memory coupled to the host processor, a plurality of remote memory media, and a scalable data fabric coupled to the host processor and to the plurality of remote memory media. The scalable data fabric includes a filter for storing information indicating a location of data that is stored by the data processing system. The host processor includes a hardware sequencer coupled to the filter for selectively moving data stored by the filter to the local memory.
