Abstract
Various systems and methods to facilitate general communication, via a memory network, between compute elements and external destinations, while at the same time facilitating low latency communication between compute elements and memory modules storing data sets, without impacting negatively the latency of the communication between the compute elements and the memory modules. General communication messages between compute nodes and a gateway compute node are facilitated with a first communication protocol adapted for low latency transmissions. Such general communication messages are then transmitted to external destinations with a second communication protocol that is adapted for the general communication network and which may or may not be low latency, but such that the low latency between the compute elements and the memory modules is not negatively impacted. The memory modules may be based on RAM or DRAM or another structure allowing low latency access by the compute elements.
