Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an interconnect comprising interfaces to communicate with respective requester and receiver node devices, and home nodes. Each home node is configured to: receive requests from one or more requester nodes, each request comprising a target address corresponding to a target receiver nodes; and transmit each said request to the corresponding target receiver node. Mapping circuitry is configured to: associate each of said plurality of home nodes with a given home node cluster; perform a first hashing of the target address of a given request, to determine a target cluster; perform a second hashing of the target address, to determine a target home node within said target cluster; and direct the given message, to the target home node.

Abstract: A data processing network includes request nodes with local memories accessible as a distributed virtual memory (DVM) and coupled by an interconnect fabric. Multiple DVM domains are assigned, each containing a DVM node for handling DVM operation requests from request nodes in the domain. On receipt of a request, a DVM node sends a snoop message to other request nodes in its domain and sends a snoop message to one or more peer DVM nodes in other DVM domains. The DVM node receives snoop responses from the request nodes and from the one or more peer DVM nodes, and send a completion message to the first request node. Each peer DVM node sends snoop messages to the request nodes in its domain, collects snoop responses, and sends a single response to the originating DVM node. In this way, DVM operations are performed in parallel.
