POOLED MEMORY ADDRESS TRANSLATION

摘要

A shared memory controller receives, from a computing node, a request associated with a memory transaction involving a particular line in a memory pool. The request includes a node address according to an address map of the computing node. An address translation structure is used to translate the first address into a corresponding second address according to a global address map for the memory pool, and the shared memory controller determines that a particular one of a plurality of shared memory controllers is associated with the second address in the global address map and causes the particular shared memory controller to handle the request.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a first shared memory controller comprising:
a first interface to receive, from a computing node, a request associated with a memory transaction involving a particular line in a memory pool, wherein the request includes a node address according to an address map of the computing node;translation logic to use an address translation structure to translate the first address into a corresponding second address according to a global address map for the memory pool;routing logic to:
determine that a particular one of a plurality of shared memory controllers is associated with the second address in the global address map; andcause the particular shared memory controller to handle the request.
