Abstract:
1. A routing switch apparatus for facilitating direct memory access between a first server and a second server included in a computing system, comprising: a direct memory access module, a first protocol conversion interface and a second protocol conversion interface, wherein the first protocol conversion interface connects to the first server, and the second protocol conversion interface connects to the second server, the direct memory access module respectively connects to the first protocol conversion interface and the second protocol conversion interface; the direct memory access module is configured to: obtain an access parameter, wherein the access parameter comprises a starting address of data on the first server, a size of the data, and a data buffer of the second server into which the data is to be written; read the data from a memory of the first server through the first protocol conversion interface according to the starting address of data on the first server and the size of the data; write the data into the second server through the second protocol conversion interface according to the data buffer of the second server into which the data is to be written; the first protocol conversion interface is configured to convert a communication protocol of the data transmitted between the first server and the direct memory access module; and the second protocol conversion interface is configured to convert a communication protocol of the data transmitted between the second server and the direct memory access module.
