Abstract:
A method and system for increasing programmability and scalability of a multi-processor network. A system includes two or more nodes coupled via a network with each node comprising a processor unit and memory. The processor unit includes one or more processors and a wiretap unit. The wiretap unit is configured to monitor memory accesses of the processors. A transaction may execute a number of read and/or write operations to memory. The nodes are configured to replicate one or more portions of memory; detect data conflicts to memory; and restore memory to pre-transaction state if needed.
