Abstract
A client device includes at least one memory configured to be used at least in part as a shared cache in a distributed cache. A network interface of the client device is configured to communicate with one or more other devices on a network each configured to provide a respective shared cache for the distributed cache. A Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) controller of the client device receives a command from a processor to access data in the shared cache and executes a program to use data read from the shared cache or data to be written to the shared cache to perform at least one computational operation. In another aspect, data is accessed in the shared cache using a kernel and data read from the shared cache or data to be written to the shared cache is used to perform at least one computational operation by the kernel.
