Accessing payload portions of client requests from client memory storage hardware using remote direct memory access

摘要

A method of processing client requests on a data processing apparatus. The method includes receiving control portions of client requests from respective clients. Each client request has control and payload portions, where the payload portion includes data and the control portion includes information relating to the data of the payload portion. The method also includes buffering, in non-transitory memory of the data processing apparatus, the received client request control portions, and retrieving the payload portion of a client request before processing that client request.

1. A method of processing client requests on a data processing apparatus of a server, the method comprising:
receiving control portions of client requests from respective client devices without using remote direct memory access to access client memory storage hardware of the respective client devices, each client request having control and payload portions, the payload portion including data and the control portion including information relating to the data of the payload portion; buffering, in server memory storage hardware in communication with the data processing apparatus, the received client request control portions; and after buffering the received control portions of the client requests and when processing one of the client requests:
accessing client memory storage hardware of the respective client device using remote direct memory access to retrieve the corresponding payload portion of the received buffered client request control portion before processing the client request and without allocating memory in the server memory storage hardware for the retrieved payload portion; andprocessing the client request and sending a processed payload to the respective client device of the processed client request.
