Abstract: A method for data transfer includes receiving in a data transfer operation data to be written by a peripheral device to a specified virtual address in a random access memory (RAM) of a host computer. Upon receiving the data, it is detected that a page that contains the specified virtual address is marked as not present in a page table of the host computer. The peripheral device receives a notification that the page is not present and an estimate of a length of time that will be required to make the page available and selects a mode for handling of the data transfer operation depending upon the estimate.

Abstract: A method for processing data includes receiving in a peripheral device, which is connected by a bus to a host processor having host resources, a notification of a sleep state of at least one of the host resources. While the at least one of the host resources is in the sleep state, when the peripheral device receives data from a data source for delivery to the host processor, the peripheral device sends a message to the data source, which causes the data source to defer conveying further data to the peripheral device until the at least one of the host resources has awakened from the sleep state.

Abstract: A network interface device includes a host interface for connection to a host processor and a network interface, which is configured to transmit and receive data packets over a network, and which comprises multiple distinct physical ports configured for connection to the network. Processing circuitry is configured to receive, via one of the physical ports, a data packet from the network and to decide, responsively to a destination identifier in the packet, whether to deliver a payload of the data packet to the host processor via the host interface or to forward the data packet to the network via another one of the physical ports.

Abstract: Remote transactions using transactional memory are carried out over a data network between an initiator host and a remote target. The transaction comprises a plurality of input-output (IO) operations between an initiator network interface controller and a target network interface controller. The IO operations are controlled by the initiator network interface controller and the target network interface controller to cause the first process to perform accesses to the memory location atomically.

Abstract: A method for data transfer includes receiving in an input/output (I/O) operation a first segment of data to be written to a specified virtual address in a host memory. Upon receiving the first segment of the data, it is detected that a first page that contains the specified virtual address is swapped out of the host memory. At least one second page of the host memory is identified, to which a second segment of the data is expected to be written. Responsively to detecting that the first page is swapped out and to identifying the at least one second page, at least the first and second pages are swapped into the host memory. After swapping at least the first and second pages into the host memory, the data are written to the first and second pages.

Abstract: A method for communication, includes allocating, in a network interface controller (NIC) a single dynamically-connected (DC) initiator context for serving requests from an initiator process running on the initiator host to transmit data to multiple target processes running on one or more target nodes. The NIC transmits a first connect packet directed to a first target process and referencing the DC initiator context so as to open a first dynamic connection with the first target process. The NIC receives over the packet network, in response to the first connect packet, a first acknowledgment packet containing a first session identifier (ID). Following receipt of the first acknowledgment packet, the NIC transmits one or more first data packets containing the first session ID over the first dynamic connection from the NIC to the first target process. Dynamic connections with other target processes may subsequently be handled in similar fashion.
