Claim:
1. A method for redirecting data read requests, comprising: recording, by a first data interface associated with storage of a first data set in a memory module, an identity associated with a first compute element that has requested, and has received, said first data set from the first data interface, such that an association is made between said first compute element and the first data set; receiving, from a second compute element, in the first data interface, a current request to obtain said first data set; detecting, by said first data interface, in conjunction with the current request, and based on the association made, that the second compute element is currently requesting the first data set that was previously requested by the first compute element; and, based on said detection, causing the second compute element, by the first data interface, in conjunction with the current request, to receive the first data set from the first compute element or a cache thereof instead of receiving said first data set from said first data interface or associated memory module, thereby effectively redirecting the current request.
