Abstract: Requests for data can be distributed among servers based on indicators of intent to access the data. For example, a kernel of a client device can receive a message from a software application. The message can indicate that the software application intends to access data at a future point in time. The kernel can transmit an electronic communication associated with the message to multiple servers. The kernel can receive a response to the electronic communication from a server of the multiple servers. Based on the response and prior to receiving a future request for the data from the software application, the kernel can select the server from among the multiple servers as a destination for the future request for the data.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for minimizing on-die memory in pull-mode switches. A disaggregated edge switch (DSW) includes a local communication interface including a plurality of outer ports configured to be coupled to a plurality of local hosts or servers via respective outer links, and a network interface configured to couple to at least one remote apparatus via a respective inner port and link. Data is transferred between the local hosts/servers using pull-mode transfers under which a receiver port “pulls” data from a local source port. The use of pull-mode data transfers between the local host/servers is managed by a scheduler so as to minimize the amount of buffers space for these local data transfers. Techniques are also disclosed for extending pull-mode data transfers using the Ethernet protocol over Ethernet links.
