Abstract
An approach is described that provides a distributed directory structure within a storage of an information handling system (a local node). A request is received with the request corresponding to a shared virtual address. The shared virtual address that is shared amongst a number of nodes that includes the local node and some remote nodes. A Global Address Space Directory (GASD) is retrieved that corresponds to a global virtual address space. The GASD is stored in a Coordination Namespace that is stored in a memory that is distributed amongst the nodes. A mapping that is included in the GASD is used to determine the node where the shared virtual address currently resides. The shared virtual address is then accessed from the node where it currently resides.
