Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for managing processing, memory, storage, network, and cloud computing to significantly improve the efficiency and performance of processing nodes. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention are directed to an instruction set of an object memory fabric. This object memory fabric instruction set can include trigger instructions defined in metadata for a particular memory object. Each trigger instruction can comprise a single instruction and action based on reference to a specific object to initiate or perform defined actions such as pre-fetching other objects or executing a trigger program.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods to implement an object memory fabric. Object memory modules may include object storage storing memory objects, memory object meta-data, and a memory module object directory. Each memory object and/or memory object portion may be created natively within the object memory module and may be a managed at a memory layer. The memory module object directory may index all memory objects and/or portions within the object memory module. A hierarchy of object routers may communicatively couple the object memory modules. Each object router may maintain an object cache state for the memory objects and/or portions contained in object memory modules below the object router in the hierarchy. The hierarchy, based on the object cache state, may behave in aggregate as a single object directory communicatively coupled to all object memory modules and to process requests based on the object cache state.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a hardware-based processing node of a plurality of hardware-based processing nodes in an object memory fabric can comprise a memory module storing and managing a plurality of memory objects in a hierarchy of the object memory fabric. Each memory object can be created natively within the memory module, accessed using a single memory reference instruction without Input/Output (I/O) instructions, and managed by the memory module at a single memory layer. The object memory fabric can utilize a memory fabric protocol between the hardware-based processing node and one or more other nodes of the plurality of hardware-based processing nodes to distribute and track the memory objects across the object memory fabric. The memory fabric protocol can be utilized across a dedicated link or across a shared link between the hardware-based processing node and one or more other nodes of the plurality of hardware-based processing nodes.

Abstract: A hardware-based processing node of an object memory fabric can comprise a memory module storing and managing one or more memory objects within an object-based memory space. Each memory object can be created natively within the memory module, accessed using a single memory reference instruction without Input/Output (I/O) instructions, and managed by the memory module at a single memory layer. The memory module can provide an interface layer below an application layer of a software stack. The interface layer can comprise one or more storage managers managing hardware of a processor and controlling portions of the object-based memory space visible to a virtual address space and physical address space of the processor. The storage managers can further provide an interface between the object-based memory space and an operating system executed by the processor and an alternate object memory based storage transparent to software using the interface layer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for managing processing, memory, storage, network, and cloud computing to significantly improve the efficiency and performance of processing nodes. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention are directed to object memory fabric streams and application programming interfaces (APIs) that correspond to a method to implement a distributed object memory and to support hardware, software, and mixed implementations. The stream API may be defined from any point as two one-way streams in opposite directions. Advantageously, the stream API can be implemented with a variety topologies. The stream API may handle object coherency so that any device can then move or remotely execute arbitrary functions, since functions are within object meta-data, which is part of a coherent object address space.
