    Abstract: A network adapter including a host interface, a network interface, packet processing circuitry, and Translation-as-a-Service (TaaS) circuitry. The host interface is to communicate with a host over a peripheral bus. The network interface is to send and receive packets to and from a network for the host. The packet processing circuitry is to process the packets. The TaaS circuitry is integrated in the network adapter and is to (i) receive from a requesting device a request to translate an input address into a requested address in a requested address space, (ii) translate the input address into the one or more requested addresses, and (iii) return the one or more requested addresses to the requesting device.

    Abstract: Methods and systems provided herein involve extracting an input/output (I/O) operation from a packet received over an I/O pipeline, the I/O operation comprising either a read request to read data from at least one storage device or a write request to write data to the at least one storage device; determining that an address associated with the I/O operation exists in a lookup table that is provided for thin provisioning of the at least one storage device; performing one or more RAID calculations associated with the at least one storage device based on the address and the I/O operation; and accessing the at least one storage device to perform the I/O operation based on the one or more RAID calculations; and second processing component configured to carry out a second set of operations that occur when the address associated with the I/O operation does not exist in the lookup table.

    Abstract: Computing apparatus includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a root complex connected to the CPU and to a first peripheral component bus, which has at least a first downstream port for connection to at least one peripheral device. Switching logic has an upstream port for connection to a second downstream port on a second peripheral component bus of a host computer, and is connected to the root complex so that when a peripheral device is connected to the first downstream port on the first peripheral component bus, the switching logic presents the peripheral device to the host computer in an address space of the second peripheral component bus.

    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes input circuitry, an encapsulator, transmission circuitry and flow control circuitry. The input circuitry is to receive packets from a data source in accordance with a first communication protocol that employs credit-based flow control. The encapsulator is to buffer the packets in a memory buffer and to encapsulate the buffered packets in accordance with a second communication protocol. The transmission circuitry is to transmit the encapsulated packets over a communication link in accordance with the second communication protocol. The flow control circuitry is to receive from the encapsulator buffer status indications that are indicative of a fill level of the memory buffer, and to exchange credit messages with the data source, in accordance with the credit-based flow control of the first communication protocol, responsively to the buffer status indications.
