Systems and methods are described for a load/store micropacket handling system.
A method includes interconnecting a compute node with a shared memory node; translating
a processor instruction into an interconnect command; transforming the interconnect
command into a direct memory access interconnect command; transmitting the direct
memory access interconnect command via a link medium; and performing an operation
defined by the direct memory access interconnect command. An apparatus includes
a computer network, including: a compute node, having: a compute node interconnect
interface unit; and a compute node interconnect adapter; a link medium, coupled
to the compute node; and a shared memory node, coupled to the link medium, having:
a shared memory node interconnect interface unit; and a shared memory node interconnect adapter.
