Abstract:
A method for processing data includes receiving in a peripheral device, which is connected by a bus to a host processor having multiple host resources, information regarding respective power states of the host resources. The data are selectively directed from the peripheral device to the host resources responsively to the respective power states.
Abstract:
A data storage system includes a storage server, including non-volatile memory (NVM) and a server network interface controller (NIC), which couples the storage server to a network. A host computer includes a host central processing unit (CPU), a host memory and a host NIC, which couples the host computer to the network. The host computer runs a driver program that is configured to receive, from processes running on the host computer, commands in accordance with a protocol defined for accessing local storage devices connected to a peripheral component interface bus of the host computer, and upon receiving a storage access command in accordance with the protocol, to initiate a remote direct memory access (RDMA) operation to be performed by the host and server NICs so as to execute on the storage server, via the network, a storage transaction specified by the command.
Abstract:
Apparatus for data communication includes a network interface for connection to a packet data network and a host interface for connection to a host computer, which includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a host memory. Packet processing circuitry receives, via the host interface, from a kernel running on the CPU, associations between multiple remote direct memory access (RDMA) sessions and multiple different User Datagram Protocol (UDP) 5-tuple, which are assigned respectively to the RDMA sessions, and receives from an application running on the CPU a request to send an RDMA message, using a selected group of one or more of the RDMA sessions, to a peer application over the packet data network, and in response to the request, transmits, via the network interface, one or more data packets using a UDP 5-tuple that is assigned to one of the RDMA sessions in the selected group.

An apparatus includes a memory and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to receive packets, which are en-route to undergo transport-layer processing in a network device in accordance with a transport protocol that requires arrival of the packets in a sequential order, to detect that one or more of the packets deviate from the sequential order, to buffer the one or more deviating packets in the memory, and, using the memory, to reorder the packets and provide the packets in the sequential order to the network device.
Abstract:
A cross-network bridging apparatus includes a bus interface and bridging circuitry. The bus interface is configured for connecting to a system bus. The bridging circuitry is configured to translate between (i) system-bus transactions that are exchanged between one or more local devices that are coupled to the system bus and served by the system bus and one or more remote processors located across a network from the apparatus, and (ii) data units that convey the system-bus transactions, for transmitting and receiving as network packets over the network to and from the remote processors.

Abstract:
A method includes detecting, by an accelerator of a networking device, a serial number of a first data packet is out of order with respect to a previous data packet within a first flow of data packets associated with a packet communication network, wherein the serial number is assigned to the first data packet according to a transport protocol. The method includes reconstructing context data associated with the first flow of data packets, wherein the context data comprises encoding information for encoding of data records containing data conveyed in payloads of data packets in the first flow of data packets according to a storage protocol. The method includes using, by the accelerator, the reconstructed context data in processing a data record associated with a second data packet within the first flow, wherein the second data packet is subsequent to the first data packet in the first flow of data packets.
