Abstract:
A plurality of system on chips (SoCs) in a server computer can be coupled to a plurality of memory agents (MAs) via respective Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) interfaces. Each of the plurality of MAs can include one or more memory controllers to communicate with a memory coupled to the respective MA, and globally addressable by each of the SoCs. Each of the plurality of SoCs can access the memory coupled to any of the MAs in uniform number of hops using the respective SerDes interfaces. Different types of memories, e.g., volatile memory, persistent memory, can be supported.
