    Abstract: Systems and method are provided. An illustrative system includes a first compute node having a first processing unit, a first compute node port, and a first peripheral component interconnect bus configured to carry data between the first processing unit and the first compute node port. The system may further include a multi-host network interface controller having a first multi-host port, where the first multi-host port is configured to connect with the first compute node port via a first peripheral component interconnect cable, a network port, where the network port is configured to receive a network interface of a networking cable, and processing circuitry configured to translate and carry data between the first multi-host port and the network port.

    Abstract: A synchronized communication system includes a plurality of network communication devices, one of which is designated as a root device and the others designated as slave devices. Each network communication device includes one or more ports and communications circuitry, which processes the communication signals received by the one or more ports so as to recover a respective remote clock from each of the signals. A synchronization circuit is integrated in the root device and provides a root clock signal, which is conveyed by clock links to the slave devices. A host processor selects one of the ports of one of the network communication devices to serve as a master port, finds a clock differential between the root clock signal and the respective remote clock recovered from the master port, and outputs, responsively to the clock differential, a control signal causing the synchronization circuit to adjust the root clock signal.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a networking card arrangement with increased thermal performance. An example arrangement includes a primary network card that defines a first card-to-board connection and a networking chipset supported by the primary network card. The arrangement also includes an auxiliary network card that defines a second card-to-board connection and networking cable connectors supported by the auxiliary network card that receive networking cables therein. The arrangement further includes a card connection element that operably connects the primary network card and the auxiliary network card. In an operational configuration in which the primary network card and the auxiliary network card are received by a server board via the first card-to-board connection and the second card-to-board connection, the primary network card is spaced from the auxiliary network card such that air may pass therebetween.

    Abstract: A network interface controller that is connected to a host and a packet communications network. The network interface controller includes electrical circuitry configured as a packet processing pipeline with a plurality of stages. It is determined in the network interface controller that at least a portion of the stages of the pipeline are acceleration-defined stages. Packets are processed in the pipeline by transmitting data to an accelerator from the acceleration-defined stages, performing respective acceleration tasks on the transmitted data in the accelerator, and returning processed data from the accelerator to receiving stages of the pipeline.

    Abstract: Electronic apparatus includes a laminated multi-layer circuit substrate, including first and second rigid cards and a flexible section between the first and second rigid cards. First and second sets of electrical terminals are disposed respectively on the first and second rigid cards and arranged to mate with respective bus connectors configured in accordance with a predefined bus standard. At least one bus interface circuit is configured to communicate over a bus in accordance with the predefined bus standard and disposed on the first rigid card. Printed conductors run continuously from the first rigid card, over the flexible section of the substrate, to the second rigid card and connect the at least one bus interface circuit on the first rigid card to the second set of electrical terminals on the second rigid card.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are described that provide a dynamic data interconnect and networking cable configuration. The dynamic data interconnect includes a substrate, transmitters supported on the substrate configured to generate signals, and receivers supported on the substrate configured to receive signals. The dynamic data interconnect further includes a number of connection pads that receive data cables attached thereto and a number of transmission lanes that operably couple the transmitters and receivers to the connection pads. The dynamic data interconnect further includes transmission circuitry in communication with each of the transmitters and receivers such that, in an operational configuration, the transmission circuitry determines a transmission state of the dynamic data interconnect and selectively disables operation of at least a portion of the transmitters or at least a portion of the receivers.
