Network communications using pooled memory in rack-scale architecture

摘要

Technologies for network communication using pooled memory include a computing rack having a pooled memory enclosure with a pooled memory controller and a compute enclosure having two or more compute nodes. A first compute node determines a destination virtual network interface controller identifier (vNIC ID) associated with a destination network address. The first compute node transmits a send message to the pooled memory controller that includes the destination vNIC ID and a sender physical address of packet data within the pooled memory. The pooled memory controller transmits a receive message to a second compute node associated with the destination vNIC ID. The second compute node transmits a receiver physical address of a receive buffer within the pooled memory to the pooled memory controller. The pooled memory controller copies the packet data from the sender physical address to the receiver physical address. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
