摘要: A system and method for extending the use of cross-memory descriptor in a server partition environment such that it may be used to describe another partition's memory, e.g., client memory (referred hereafter as “remote” memory), are provided. With method, when an operating logically partitioned computing is initialized, kernel services invoked examine device tree generate extended describes local logical partition, which remote present partition. When access required perform operation, uses stored access.
