1. A method of a first node accessing memory in a remote node in a multiprocessor computer network, wherein the remote node includes one or more processing elements, the method comprising:

  • receiving a virtual memory address from a requesting entity in the first node;

    creating a network address from the virtual address received in the first node, where the network address is in a larger address space than the virtual memory address, and the network address includes a processing element field, a memory domain handle, and an offset; and

    sending a fast memory access request from the first node to the remote node identified in the network address, wherein the fast memory access request includes the network address;

    wherein the memory domain handle is associated with the memory in the remote node, and the processing element field is associated with the remote node.
