Abstract: A shared memory controller is to service load and store operations received, over data links, from a plurality of independent nodes to provide access to a shared memory resource. Each of the plurality of independent nodes is to be permitted to access a respective portion of the shared memory resource. Interconnect protocol data and memory access protocol data are sent on the data links and transitions between the interconnect protocol data and memory access protocol data can be defined and identified.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, computer readable storage medium, and switch for configuring a switch to assign partitions in storage devices to compute nodes. A management controller configures the switch to dynamically allocate partitions of at least one of the storage devices to the compute nodes based on a workload at the compute node.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing data coherency is described herein. The apparatus includes a global persistent memory. The global persistent memory is accessed using a protocol that includes input/output (I/O) semantics and memory semantics. The apparatus also includes a reflected memory region. The reflected memory region is a portion of the global persistent memory, and each node of a plurality of nodes maps the reflected memory region into a space that is not cacheable. Further, the apparatus includes a semaphore memory. The semaphore memory provides a hardware assist for enforced data coherency.

Abstract: An apparatus for coherent shared memory across multiple clusters is described herein. The apparatus includes a fabric memory controller and one or more nodes. The fabric memory controller manages access to a shared memory region of each node such that each shared memory region is accessible using load store semantics, even in response to failure of the node. The apparatus also includes a global memory, wherein each shared memory region is mapped to the global memory by the fabric memory controller.

Abstract: An apparatus for pooling memory resources across multiple nodes is described herein. The apparatus includes a shared memory controller, wherein each node of the multiple nodes is connected to the shared memory controller. The apparatus also includes a pool of memory connected to the shared memory controller, wherein a portion of the pool of memory is allocated to each node of the multiple nodes.

Abstract: A digital data transfer system transfers digital data along a path in a ring topology. The digital data transfer system comprising a host controller and a digital data transfer subsystem. The host controller generates and receiving digital data and the digital data transfer subsystem receives the digital data from the host controller and transferring the digital data to one or more devices connectable thereto, and further receives digital data from the last of the devices connectable thereto for provision to the host controller, thereby to define the ring data transfer topology. The digital data transfer subsystem comprises an upstream port, a plurality of input/output ports and a port control. The upstream port transfers digital data from an external source to the input of the first input/output port in the series and transfers digital data received from the last input/output port in the series to the host controller.
