Abstract
Coupling a device to a multicore computing system that includes multiple cores that each include a processor includes sending messages to access memory coupled to at least one of the multiple cores, the memory having an address space, and the messages including a virtual address. An interface is provided for coupling the device to the multicore computing system in a shim that: transmits or receives messages on the communication network among the processors to or from the coupled device, and translates virtual addresses to physical addresses of the address space in response to receiving the messages over the communication network that include a virtual address.
