Abstract
A system includes multiple nodes coupled using a network of processor buses. The multiple nodes include a first processor node, including one or more processing cores and main memory, and a flash memory node coupled to the first processor node via a first processor bus of the network of processor buses. The flash memory node includes a flash memory including flash pages, a first memory including a cache partition for storing cached flash pages for the flash pages in the flash memory and a control partition for storing cache control data and contexts of requests to access the flash pages, and a logic module including a direct memory access (DMA) register and configured to receive a first request from the first processor node via the first processor bus to access the flash pages.
