System and method for efficient pointer chasing
Abstract
Described is a system and method for efficient pointer chasing in systems having a single memory node or a network of memory nodes. In particular, a pointer chasing command is sent along with a memory request by an issuing node to a memory node. The pointer chasing command indicates the number of interdependent memory accesses and information needed for the identified interdependent memory accesses. An address computing unit associated with the memory node determines the relevant memory address for an interdependent memory access absent further interaction with the issuing node or without having to return to the issuing node.
