Abstract: A method of booting a computer system using a non-volatile memory of a memory module of the computer system is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a memory controller driver of a memory module of the computer system is stored in a non-volatile memory of the memory module. A memory controller of the memory module has a register that is set to indicate a location of the memory controller driver in the non-volatile memory of the memory module. The memory controller determines the location of the memory controller driver of the memory module using the register. The memory controller driver is transferred from the non-volatile memory to a buffer of the memory controller and subsequently from the buffer of the memory controller to a main memory of the computer system. The computer system initializes the memory module using the memory controller driver.

Abstract: A method of controlling a remote computer device of a remote computer system over a remote direct memory access (RDMA) is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the method includes establishing a connection for remote direct memory access (RDMA) between a local memory device of a local computer system and a remote memory device of a remote computer system. A local command is sent from a local application that is running on the local computer system to the remote memory device of the remote computer system via the RDMA. The remote computer system executes the local command on the remote computer device.
