A server system may be configured to access a first contiguous portion of memory for a first activity of a plurality of activities, and to transfer data associated with the first activity into the first contiguous portion of memory. The first contiguous portion of memory may be placed in a memory repository to make the first contiguous portion of memory available for access by at least a second activity of the plurality of activities, and an identifier may be assigned to the first contiguous portion of memory placed in the memory repository. The server system may also be configured to access the first contiguous portion of memory for the second activity, and to transfer the data associated with the first activity from the first contiguous portion of memory to memory specifically associated with the second activity.

Enhanced message control banks

Systems and methods for clearing bank descriptors for reuse by gate banks without requiring a system reboot are described. In some embodiments, information regarding a bank descriptor of a memory system may be obtained. From the information, a determination may be made as to whether the bank descriptor describes a common bank. When the bank descriptor describes a common bank, the bank descriptor can be updated to no longer describe the common bank.
