A hardware-based processing node of an object memory fabric can comprise a memory module storing and managing one or more memory objects within an object-based memory space. Each memory object can be created natively within the memory module, accessed using a single memory reference instruction without Input/Output (I/O) instructions, and managed by the memory module at a single memory layer. The memory module can provide an interface layer below an application layer of a software stack. The interface layer can comprise one or more storage managers managing hardware of a processor and controlling portions of the object-based memory space visible to a virtual address space and physical address space of the processor. The storage managers can further provide an interface between the object-based memory space and an operating system executed by the processor and an alternate object memory based storage transparent to software using the interface layer.
