OBJECT MEMORY MANAGEMENT UNIT

摘要

Techniques to facilitate enhanced addressing of local and network resources from a computing system are provided herein. In one implementation, a method of operating an object-based memory management unit on a computing system to unify addressing of local and network resources includes maintaining a mapping of virtual addresses to local addresses and network addresses, and identifying resource requests that use the virtual addresses. The method further provides handling the resource requests per the mapping, and wherein a given request of the resource requests implicates a network resource, accessing the network resource associated with the given request over at least the network.

主权项

1. A computing apparatus comprising:
one or more computer readable storage media; a processing system operatively coupled with the one or more computer readable storage media; and program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media to implement an object-based memory management unit (OMMU) of a computing system that, when read and executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
transfer at least one request to first network addresses for a software image for the computing system;receive, from the first network addresses, code to configure the OMMU of the computing system based on the software image; andprocess the code to generate a mapping of virtual addresses for the computing system to local addresses that address local resources of the computing system and second network addresses that address network resources external to the computing system over at least a network.
