Abstract: Processors in a compute node offload transactional memory accesses addressing shared memory to a transactional memory agent. The transactional memory agent typically resides near the processors in a particular compute node. The transactional memory agent acts as a proxy for those processors. A first benefit of the invention includes decoupling the processor from the direct effects of remote system failures. Other benefits of the invention includes freeing the processor from having to be aware of transactional memory semantics, and allowing the processor to address a memory space larger than the processor's native hardware addressing capabilities. The invention also enables computer system transactional capabilities to scale well beyond the transactional capabilities of those found computer systems today.

Abstract translation: 计算节点卸载事务内存中的处理器访问寻址共享内存到事务内存代理。 事务内存代理通常驻留在特定计算节点中的处理器附近。 事务内存代理充当这些处理器的代理。 本发明的第一个优点包括使处理器与远程系统故障的直接影响相分离。 本发明的其他优点包括释放处理器不必意识到事务性存储器语义，并允许处理器寻址大于处理器本机硬件寻址能力的存储器空间。 本发明还使得计算机系统的事务能力能够远远超出目前那些找到的计算机系统的事务能力。
