Abstract: A network interface device capable of communication with a data processing system supporting an operating system and at least one application, the network interface device supporting communication with the operating system by means of: two or more data channels, each data channel being individually addressable by the network interface device and being capable of carrying application-level data between the network interface device and the data processing device; and a control channel individually addressable by the network interface device and capable of carrying control data between the network interface device, the control data defining commands and the network interface being responsive to at least one command sent over the control channel to establish at least one additional data channel.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe end-to-end bindings to create zones that extend between different components in a SoC, such as an I/O gateway, a processor subsystem, a NoC, storage and data accelerators, programmable logic, etc. Each zone can be assigned to a different domain that is controlled by a tenant such as an external host, or software executing on that host. Embodiments herein create end-to-end bindings between acceleration engines, I/O gateways, and embedded cores in SoCs. Instead of these components being treated as disparate monolithic components, the bindings divide up the hardware and memory resources across components that make up the SoC, into different zones. Those zones in turn can have unique bindings to multiple tenants. The bindings can be configured in bridges between components to divide resources into the zones to enable tenants of those zones to have dedicated available resources that are secure from the other tenants.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device includes multiple heterogeneous functional circuit blocks and interface circuitry that permits the heterogeneous functional circuit blocks to exchange data with one another using communication protocols of the respective heterogeneous functional circuit blocks. The IC device includes fixed-function circuitry, user-configurable circuitry (e.g., programmable logic), and/or embedded processors/cores. A functional circuit block may be configured in fixed-function circuitry or in the user-configurable circuitry (i.e., as a plug-in). The interface circuitry includes a network-on-a-chip (NoC), an adaptor configured in the user-configurable circuitry, and/or memory. The memory may be accessible to the functional circuit blocks through an adaptor configured the user-configurable circuitry and/or through the NoC. The IC device may be configured as a SmartNIC, DPU, or other type of system-on-a-chip (SoC).

Abstract: A network interface device comprises a plurality of components configured to process a flow of data one after another. A control component is configured to provide one or more control messages in said flow, said one or more control message being provided to said plurality of components one after another such that a configuration of one or more of said components is changed.

Abstract: A network interface device has an input configured to receive data from a network. The data is for one of a plurality of different applications. The network interface device also has at least one processor configured to determine which of a plurality of available different caches in a host system the data is to be injected by accessing to a receive queue comprising at least one descriptor indicating a cache location in one of said plurality of caches to which data is to be injected, wherein said at least one descriptor, which indicates the cache location, has an effect on subsequent descriptors of said receive queue until a next descriptor indicates another cache location. The at least one processor is also configured to cause the data to be injected to the cache location in the host system.

IPC: H04L29/06

Abstract: A network interface device having a hardware module comprising a plurality of processing units. Each of the plurality of processing units is associated with its own at least one predefined operation. At a compile time, the hardware module is configured by arranging at least some of the plurality of processing units to perform their respective at least one operation with respect to a data packet in a certain order so as to perform a function with respect to that data packet. A compiler is provide to assign different processing stages to each processing unit. A controller is provided to switch between different processing circuitry on the fly so that one processing circuitry may be used whilst another is being compiled.
