A computational system includes one or more processors. Each processor has multiple registers, as well attached memory to hold instructions. The processor is coupled to one or more broadside interfaces. A broadside interface allows the processor to load or store an entire widget state in a single clock cycle of the processor. The broadside interface also allows the processor to move and store 32 bytes of information into RAM in less than four to five clock cycles of the processor while the processor concurrently performs one or more mathematical operations on the information while the move and store operation is taking place.

Methods and apparatus for software-defined coherent caching of pooled memory. The pooled memory is implemented in an environment having a disaggregated architecture where compute resources such as compute platforms are connected to disaggregated memory via a network or fabric. Software-defined caching policies are implemented in hardware in a processor SoC or discrete device such as a Network Interface Controller (NIC) by programming logic in an FPGA or accelerator on the SoC or discrete device. The programmed logic is configured to implement software-defined caching policies in hardware for effecting disaggregated memory (DM) caching in an associated DM cache of at least a portion of an address space allocated for the software application in the disaggregated memory. In connection with DM cache operations, such as cache lines evicted from a CPU, logic implemented in hardware determines whether a cache line in a DM cache is to be convicted and implements the software-defined caching policy for the DM cache including associated memory coherency operations.

A router device may receive a request for access to a file from a user device, wherein a master version of the file is stored in a data structure associated with a server device. The router device may generate, based on the request, a copy of a cached version of the file, wherein the cached version of the file is stored in a data structure associated with the router device. The router device may send the copy of the cached version of the file to the user device.

A bridge apparatus includes slave circuits connected to each other via a bus. Each of the slave circuits is connected to one of master apparatuses, function as a slave for the master apparatus connected thereto, and performs communication in accordance with a protocol in which the number of masters in a system is restricted. Addresses of memories are respectively set in the slave circuits, and the memories are connected to the master apparatuses to which the slave circuits are respectively connected. When a first master apparatus accesses a memory connected to a second master apparatus by specifying a first address of the memory, the bridge apparatus causes the first master apparatus and the second master apparatus to communicate via a first slave circuit, a second slave circuit in which an address corresponding to the first address is set, and the bus, based on the addresses of the memories.

A memory system having an interconnect configured to receive commands from a system to read data from and/or write data to a memory device. The memory system also has a bridge configured to receive the commands from the interconnect, to manage ECC data and to perform address translation between system addresses and physical memory device addresses by calculating a first ECC memory address for a first ECC data block that is after and adjacent to a first data block having a first data address, calculating a second ECC memory address that is after and adjacent to the first ECC block, and calculating a second data address that is after and adjacent to the second ECC block. The bridge may also check and calculate ECC data for a complete burst of data, and/or cache ECC data for a complete burst of data that includes read and/or write data.
