ABSTRACT:
A technique for enabling a processor to access a memory not directly coupled to the processor. According to the technique, a local processor accesses a remote memory by issuing a memory request that contains an indicator that indicates the request is addressed to the remote memory. The request is then transferred to a remote memory management unit (MMU) coupled to the remote memory. The remote MMU acts as a proxy and issues the memory request to the remote memory on behalf of the local processor. The results of the request, if any, are returned to the local processor.
