Abstract

A system comprising a unified interconnect network, a plurality of process memory modules, and a plurality of processor modules configured to share access to the memory modules via the unified interconnect network. Data may be communicated between a plurality of processor modules and a plurality of shared resource pools via a unified interconnect network, wherein the communications comprise a protocol that is common to all resource pools, and wherein each resource pool comprises a plurality of resource modules each configured to perform a common function. Further, a network interface controller (NIC) module may be configured to receive data from a plurality of processor modules via a unified interconnect network, and provide core network connectivity to the processor modules.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
a unified interconnect network;
a memory pool comprising a plurality of process memory modules configured to cache process data, wherein each process memory module in the memory pool is positioned in one of a plurality of memory blade servers; and
a processor pool comprising a plurality of processor modules configured to share access to the process memory modules in the memory pool for caching the process data via the unified interco…
