SRC servers that use the Hi-Bar® crossbar switch interconnect can incorporate Common Memory nodes in addition to microprocessor and MAP® nodes. Each of these Common Memory nodes contains an intelligent DMA controller and up to 16 GBytes of double data rate SDRAM. The intelligent DMA controller is capable of performing complex DMA functions such as data packing, strided access and scatter/gather, to maximize the efficient use of the system interconnect bandwidth. Interconnect efficiencies more than 10 times greater than a cache-based microprocessor using the same interconnect are common for these operations.
