Abstract: In various embodiments, a proxy application receives a first storage request from a proxy driver executing on a host node. The first storage request indicates a location within the shared storage system and a first address range associated with the host node. The proxy application converts the first storage request to a second storage request that indicates the location and a second address range associated with a proxy node. The proxy application transmits the second storage request to a storage driver that executes on the proxy node and is associated with the shared storage system. The storage driver invokes a remote direct memory access data transfer operation between the shared storage system and the host node to fulfill the first storage request.

Abstract: A processor of an aspect includes a plurality of packed data registers, and a decode unit to decode an instruction. The instruction is to indicate a packed data register of the plurality of packed data registers that is to store a source packed memory address information. The source packed memory address information is to include a plurality of memory address information data elements. An execution unit is coupled with the decode unit and the plurality of packed data registers, the execution unit, in response to the instruction, is to load a plurality of data elements from a plurality of memory addresses that are each to correspond to a different one of the plurality of memory address information data elements, and store the plurality of loaded data elements in a destination storage location. The destination storage location does not include a register of the plurality of packed data registers.

Abstract: According to a first aspect, efficient data transfer operations can be achieved by: decoding by a processor device, a single instruction specifying a transfer operation for a plurality of data elements between a first storage location and a second storage location; issuing the single instruction for execution by an execution unit in the processor; detecting an occurrence of an exception during execution of the single instruction; and in response to the exception, delivering pending traps or interrupts to an exception handler prior to delivering the exception.
