    Abstract: In one embodiment, a block data transfer interface employing offload data transfer engine in accordance with the present description includes an offload data transfer engine executing a data transfer command set to transfer a block of data in a transfer data path from a source memory to a new region of a destination memory, wherein the transfer data path bypasses a central processing unit to minimize or reduce involvement of the central processing unit in the block transfer. In response to a successful transfer indication, a logical address is re-mapped to a physical address of the new region of the destination memory, instead of a physical address of the original region of the destination memory. In one embodiment, the re-mapping is performed by a central processing unit. In another embodiment, the re-mapping is performed by the offload data transfer engine. Other aspects are described herein.

    Abstract: According to various aspects, a memory system may include: a memory having a memory address space associated therewith to access the memory; a cache memory assigned to the memory; one or more processors configured to generate a dummy address space in addition to the memory address space, each address of the dummy address space being distinct from any address of the memory address space, and generate one or more invalid cache entries in the cache memory, the one or more invalid cache entries referencing one or more dummy addresses of the dummy address space.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method for distributed management of data objects in a network of compute nodes are disclosed herein. A first compute node interface may be communicatively coupled to a first compute node to receive a request from the first compute node for at least a portion of a particular version of a data object, wherein the first compute node interface is to include mapping information and logic, wherein the logic is to redirect the request to a second compute node interface associated with a second compute node when the second compute node is mapped to a plurality of data object addresses that includes an address associated with the data object in accordance with the mapping information, and wherein the first compute node is to receive, as a response to the request, the at least a portion of the particular version of the data object from a third compute node interface associated with a third compute node.
