Using soNUMA, a programming model is layered directly on top of a NUMA memory fabric via a stateless messaging protocol. To facilitate interactions between the application, OS, and the fabric, soNUMA uses a remote memory controller—an architecturally-exposed hardware block integrated into the node's local coherence hierarchy.patentUS9734063US201524232453882339
