Abstract: There is provided mechanisms for initiating writing data of a pending memory write on a host computer. A method comprises monitoring pending memory writes for a non-volatile memory write indicator (NVMWI). The NVMWI is either set or not set. The method comprises initiating writing of the data of the pending memory write. Writing of the data is initiated to both a non-volatile memory (NVM) and a volatile memory (VM) when the NVMWI for the pending memory write is set. Writing of the data otherwise is initiated only to the VM.

Abstract: A method performed by a coordinating entity in a disaggregated data center architecture wherein computing resources are separated in discrete resource pools and associated together to represent a functional server. The coordinating entity obtains a setup of processor cores that are coupled logically as the functional server, and determines an index indicating an identity of a cache coherency domain based on the obtained setup of processor cores. The coordinating entity further configures one or more communicating entities associated with the obtained setup of processor cores, to use the determined index when handling updated cache related data.
