Abstract
Fabric Attached Memory (FAM) provides a pool of memory that can be accessed by one or more processors, such as a graphics processing unit(s) (GPU)(s), over a network fabric. In one instance, a technique is disclosed for using imperfect processors as memory controllers to allow memory, which is local to the imperfect processors, to be accessed by other processors as fabric attached memory. In another instance, memory address compaction is used within the fabric elements to fully utilize the available memory space.
