Technologies for quality of service based throttling in a fabric architecture include a network node of a plurality of network nodes interconnected across the fabric architecture via an interconnect fabric. The network node includes a host fabric interface (HFI) configured to facilitate the transmission of data to/from the network node, monitor quality of service levels of resources of the network node used to process and transmit the data, and detect a throttling condition based on a result of the monitored quality of service levels. The HFI is further configured to generate and transmit a throttling message to one or more of the interconnected network nodes in response to having detected a throttling condition. The HFI is additionally configured to receive a throttling message from another of the network nodes and perform a throttling action on one or more of the resources based on the received throttling message. Other embodiments are described herein.

Technologies for quality of service based throttling in fabric architectures

Embodiments of the invention include a machine-readable medium having stored thereon at least one instruction, which if performed by a machine causes the machine to perform a method that includes decoding, with a node, an invalidate instruction; and executing, with the node, the invalidate instruction for invalidating a memory range specified across a fabric interconnect.

Methods and systems for invalidating memory ranges in fabric-based architectures

Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for detecting an issued request in a queue that is shared by a plurality of domains in a memory architecture, wherein the plurality of domains are associated with non-uniform access latencies. Additionally, a destination domain associated with the issued request may be determined. Moreover, a first set of additional requests may be prevented from being issued to the queue if the issued request satisfies an overrepresentation condition with respect to the destination domain and the first set of additional requests are associated with the destination domain. In one example, a second set of additional requests are permitted to be issued to the queue while the first set of additional requests are prevented from being issued to the queue, wherein the second set of additional requests are associated with one or more remaining domains in the plurality of domains.

An apparatus comprises a processor to generate, in anticipation of receipt of a read request for data of a data set, a prefetch request to retrieve the data set from a memory device, the prefetch request to comprise at least one parameter indicating a size of the data set. The processor is further to cause transmission of the prefetch request to the memory device and in response to a read request for at least a portion of the data set, request the at least a portion of the data set from a cache storing a copy of the data set, wherein the cache is to store the copy of the data set after the copy is received from the memory device in response to the prefetch request.

Technologies for managing cache memory of a processor in a distributed shared memory system includes managing a distance value and an age value associated with each cache line of the cache memory. The distance value is indicative of a distance of a memory resource, relative to the processor, from which data stored in the corresponding chance line originates. The age value is based on the distance value and the number of times for which the corresponding cache line has been considered for eviction since a previous eviction of the corresponding cache line. Initially, the age value is set to the distance value. Additionally, every time a cache line is accessed, the age value associated with the accessed cache line is reset to the corresponding distance value. During a cache eviction operation, the cache line for eviction is selected based on the age value associated with each cache line. The age values of cache lines not selected for eviction are subsequently decremented such that even cache lines associated with remote memory resources will eventually be considered for eviction if not recently accessed.
