Remote memory operations for computing systems with shared memory

Abstract:

Embodiments may include systems and methods for performing remote memory operations in a shared memory address space. An apparatus includes a first network controller coupled to a first processor core. The first network controller processes a remote memory operation request, which is generated by a first memory coherency agent based on a first memory operation for an application operating on the first processor core. The remote memory operation request is associated with a remote memory address that is local to a second processor core coupled to the first processor core. The first network controller forwards the remote memory operation request to a second network controller coupled to the second processor core. The second processor core and the second network controller are to carry out a second memory operation to extend the first memory operation as a remote memory operation. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
