Memory descriptor list caching and pipeline processing techniques are described. In one or more examples, a method is configured to increase efficiency of buffer usage within a pipeline of a computing device. The method includes creation of a buffer in memory of the computing device and caching of a memory descriptor list by the computing device that describes the buffer in a buffer information cache and has associated therewith a handle that acts as a lookup to the memory descriptor list. The method also includes passing the handle through the pipeline of the computing device for processing of data within the buffer by one or more stages of the pipeline such that access to the data is obtained by the one or more stages by using the handle as the lookup as part of a call to obtain the memory descriptor list for the buffer from the buffer information cache.

A cache and a method for performing data copying are provided. The cache includes a copy logic and be connected to a processor through a first bus and to a memory controller through a second bus, which is different from the first bus. Moreover, the copy logic may perform data copying through the second bus based on a data copy command received from the processor.

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 evicted and implements the software-defined caching policy for the DM cache including associated memory coherency operations.

Provided are systems, methods, and apparatuses for transferring computational tasks. In one or more examples, the systems, methods, and apparatuses include a first host configured to detect a trigger to offload instruction code from the first host to a second host; identify, based on the trigger, an address translation binding for the instruction code and an address translation binding for application data associated with the instruction code; copy the address translation binding for the instruction code and the address translation binding for the application data to a memory; and transfer control of execution of the instruction code to the second host based on the copying.
