Zusammenfassung:A memory-fabric-based processor context switching system includes server devices coupled to a memory fabric. A first processing system in a first server device receives a request to move a process it is executing and, in response, copies first processing system context values to its first local memory system in the first server device, and generates a first data mover instruction that causes a first data mover device in the first server device to transmit the first processing system context values from the first local memory system to the memory fabric. A second processing system in a second server device generates a second data mover instruction that causes a second data mover device in the second server device to retrieve the first processing system context values from the memory fabric and provide the first processing system context values in a second local memory system included in the second server device.
