Provided are methods and adapter devices for buffering write transactions directed to a large space. In various implementations, an adapter device may include a sequential address buffer and a memory. A region of the memory may be configured as a data block, which may be associated with an address range. The address range may correspond to a region of an address space of a target device. The adapter device may be configured to receive a write transaction, the write transaction having an address and data. The adapter device may further write the address to the sequential address buffer. The adapter device may further determine that the address is within the address range, and to write the data to the data block. The adapter device may further, upon the occurrence of an event, write the data from the data block to the region of the address space of the target device.

A method for processing commands in a directory-based computer memory management system includes receiving a command to perform an operation on data stored in a set of one or more computer memory locations associated with an entry in a directory of a computer memory, the entry is associated with an indicator for indicating whether the set of one or more computer memory locations is busy, a head tag, and a tail tag. The command is associated with a command tag and a predecessor tag, and checking the indicator to determine whether the set of one or more computer memory locations is busy.
