Abstract
A system for providing memory access is disclosed. In some embodiments, the system is configured to receive at a source server fabric adapter (SFA), from a server, a memory access request comprising a virtual memory address; using associative mapping, determining whether the virtual address corresponds to a source-local memory associated with the source SFA or to a remote memory. If the virtual address corresponds to the source-local memory, the virtual memory address is translated, at the source SFA, into a physical memory address of the source-local memory. If the virtual address corresponds to the remote memory, a request message is synthesized, and the synthesized request message is transmitted to the destination SFA using a network protocol.
