Mechanisms to utilize communication fabric via multi-port architecture

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed pertaining to utilizing a communication fabric via multiple ports. An agent circuit includes a plurality of command-and-data ports that couple the agent circuit to a communication fabric coupled to a plurality of hardware components that includes a plurality of memory controller circuits that facilitate access to a memory. The agent circuit can execute an instruction that involves issuing a command for data stored at the memory. The agent circuit may perform a hash operation on a memory address associated with the command to determine which one of the plurality of memory controller circuits to which to issue the command. The agent circuit issues the command to the determined memory controller circuit on a particular one of the plurality of command-and-data ports that is designated to the memory controller circuit. The agent circuit may issue all commands destined to that memory controller circuit on that port.
