Abstract
Techniques are provided to allow more sophisticated operations to be performed remotely by machines that are not fully functional. Operations that can be performed reliably by a machine that has experienced a hardware and/or software error are referred to herein as Remote Direct Memory Operations or “RDMOs”. Unlike RDMAs, which typically involve trivially simple operations such as the retrieval of a single value from the memory of a remote machine, RDMOs may be arbitrarily complex. The techniques described herein can help applications run without interruption when there are software faults or glitches on a remote system with which they interact.
