Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A remote processor is signaled for receiving a remote machine memory address (RMMA) space that contains data to be transferred. The RMMA space is mapped to a free portion of a system memory address (SMA) space of the remote processor. The entries of a page table corresponding to the address space are created.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. In an optically-connected memory (OCM) system, a method for address space management, comprising: signaling a remote processor for receiving a remote machine memory address (RMMA) space that contains data to be transferred, mapping the RMMA space to a free portion of a system memory address (SMA) space of the remote processor, wherein entries of a page table corresponding to the SMA space are created, performing the signaling and the mapping while dynami…
