Claim 7:
8. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a switch from a memory mapper, at least a portion of mapping information, the at least the portion of the mapping information being received at the memory mapper from a fabric manager, the memory mapper storing the mapping information, the mapping information maps memory locations in a plurality of hosts to corresponding memory locations in a plurality of physical devices, the at least the portion of the mapping information including at least one shared memory location for a host of the plurality of hosts and an other host of the plurality of hosts on a physical device of the plurality of physical devices, the physical device being a CXL memory device;
receiving, at the switch, a request from the host;
receiving, at the switch, an additional request from the other host;
receiving, at the switch, additional mapping information from the memory mapper, the additional mapping information including the at least one shared memory location;
accessing, via the switch and using the at least the portion of the mapping information, memory that is identified by the request on the physical device; and
accessing, via the switch, additional memory for the other host identified by the additional request on the physical device;
wherein the host and the other host share the physical device and the at least one shared memory location is accessible via the switch by only one of the host and the other host at a particular time.
