Abstract: A peripheral device includes a bus interface and an Address Translation Service (ATS) controller. The bus interface is to communicate over a peripheral bus. The ATS controller is to communicate over the peripheral bus, including sending address translation requests and receiving address translations in response to the address translation requests, to cache at least some of the address translations in one or more Address Translation Caches (ATCs), to estimate one or more statistical properties of the received address translations, and to configure the one or more ATCs based on the one or more statistical properties.

Abstract: A work descriptor identifying a plurality of workflow tasks to be performed by a hardware device is generated by a host system. A plurality of timestamp logging tasks are added to the work descriptor. Each of the plurality of timestamp logging tasks corresponds to one of the plurality of workflow tasks and instructs the hardware device to log a timestamp in response to an event associated with a respective workflow task. The work descriptor with the plurality of timestamp logging tasks is stored in a work queue of the host system. The work queue is accessible by the hardware device.

Abstract: A method including an executing entity, including fencing dependency circuitry, communicating with physical memory including a work queue (WQ) including a first controlling work request (WR), and a first dependent WR, the first dependent WR including a fencing indication indicating that the first dependent WR should not be executed until the first controlling WR has completed, the fencing dependency circuitry determining that the first dependent WR is ready for execution and checking, based on the fencing indication in the first dependent WR, whether the first controlling WR has completed, and the executing entity executing the first dependent WR only when the first controlling WR has completed. Related apparatus and methods are also provided.

Abstract: A network device in a communication network includes a controller and processing circuitry. The controller is configured to manage execution of an operation whose execution depends on inputs from a group of one or more work-request initiators. The processing circuitry is configured to read one or more values, which are set by the work-request initiators in one or more memory locations that are accessible to the work-request initiators and to the network device, and to trigger execution of the operation in response to verifying that the one or more values read from the one or more memory locations indicate that the work-request initiators in the group have provided the respective inputs.

Abstract: A system includes a host processor, which has a host memory and is coupled to store data in a non-volatile memory in accordance with a storage protocol. A network interface controller (NIC) receives data packets conveyed over a packet communication network from peer computers containing, in payloads of the data packets, data records that encode data in accordance with the storage protocol for storage in the non-volatile memory. The NIC processes the data records in the data packets that are received in order in each flow from a peer computer and extracts and writes the data to the host memory, and when a data packet arrives out of order, writes the data packet to the host memory without extracting the data and processes the data packets in the flow so as to recover context information for use in processing the data records in subsequent data packets in the flow.

Abstract: A method for communication includes receiving in a computer system a request from a peer computer system. Upon finding that the computer system is currently not ready to process the request, a Negative Acknowledgement (NAK) message is sent from the computer system to the peer computer system, at a sending time that is derived from a time at which the computer system is ready to process the request.

Abstract: A computer system includes one or more processors, one or more hardware accelerators, and control circuitry. The processors are configured to run software that executes tasks in a normal mode. The accelerators are configured to execute the tasks in an accelerated mode. The control circuitry is configured to receive one or more flows of tasks for execution by the processors and the accelerators, assign one or more initial tasks of each flow for execution by the processors, assign subsequent tasks of each flow for execution by the accelerators, and verify, for each flow, that the accelerators do not execute the subsequent tasks of the flow until the processors have fully executed the initial tasks of the flow.
