A high performance computer system has compute nodes interconnected by an inter-node communication network. The compute nodes include local packetized interconnects. Shared memory between compute nodes is emulated by tunneling packetized interconnect packets between the compute nodes. A memory region on one of the compute nodes is used as a window into a memory region in another compute node. Special registers may be provided to expedite remote operations on small amounts of data.

Low latency communication via memory windows

A high performance computer system has a number of compute nodes interconnected by an inter-node communication network. Each compute node has a local packetized interconnect coupled to the inter-node communication network by an interface. Data packets on the local packetized interconnect of a sending node may be delivered to a destination in a receiving node by addressing them to addresses associated with the network interface and tunneling the packets through the inter-node communication network to the receiving node.
