Abstract: One embodiment provides a network interface controller (NIC). The NIC can include a storage device, a network interface, a hardware list-processing engine (LPE), and a message state table (MST) logic block. The storage device can store an MST. The network interface can couple the NIC to a network. The LPE can perform message matching on a first packet of a message received via the network interface. The MST logic block can store results of the message matching in the MST and receive a request to read the results of the message matching from the MST if the NIC receives a second packet associated with the message.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a network interface to transmit and receive data packets over a network; a memory including one or more buffers; an arithmetic logic unit to perform arithmetic operations for organizing and combining the data packets; and a circuitry to receive, via the network interface, data packets from the network; aggregate, via the arithmetic logic unit, the received data packets in the one or more buffers at a network rate; and transmit, via the network interface, the aggregated data packets to one or more compute nodes in the network, thereby optimizing latency incurred in combining the received data packets and transmitting the aggregated data packets, and hence accelerating a bulk data allreduce operation. One embodiment provides a system and method for performing the allreduce operation. During operation, the system performs the allreduce operation by pacing network operations for enhancing performance of the allreduce operation.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a system and method for predicting network power usage associated with workloads. During operation, the system configures a simulator to simulate operations of a plurality of network components, which comprises embedding one or more event counters in each simulated network component. A respective event counter is configured to count a number of network-power-related events. The system collects, based on values of the event counters, network-power-related performance data associated with one or more sample workloads applied to the simulator; and trains a machine-learning model with the collected network-power-related performance data and characteristics of the sample workloads as training data 1, thereby facilitating prediction of network-power-related performance associated with a to-be-evaluated workload.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing routing in a switch network or fabric. Switches can be configured in a hierarchical topology having a plurality of groups, where switches in a group are connected to one another, and groups are connected to other groups. Routing can be performed by maintaining per-group group load information. A packet can be routed between at least two groups using the per-group group load information to effect a set of routing decisions. The set of routing decisions can be biased towards or away one or more paths.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for passing data amongst a plurality of switches having a plurality of links attached between the plurality of switches. At a switch, a plurality of load signals are received from a plurality of neighboring switches. Each of the plurality of load signals are made up of a set of values indicative of a load at each of the plurality of neighboring switches providing the load signal. Each value within the set of values provides an indication for each link of the plurality of links attached thereto as to whether the link is busy or quiet. Based upon the plurality of load signals, an output link for routing a received packet is selected, and the received packet is routed via the selected output link.

Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of efficient management of non-idempotent operations is provided. The NIC can be equipped with a network interface, storage management logic block, and an operation management logic block. During operation, the network interface can receive a request for an operation from a remote device. The storage management logic block can store, in a local data structure, outcome of operations executed by the NIC. The operation management logic block can determine whether the NIC has previously executed the operation. If the NIC has previously executed the operation, the operation management logic block can obtain an outcome of the operation from the data structure and generate a response comprising the obtained outcome for responding to the request.

Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of efficient operation management for host accelerators is provided. The NIC can be equipped with a host interface and triggering logic block. During operation, the host interface can couple the NIC to a host device. The triggering logic block can obtain, via the host interface from the host device, an operation associated with an accelerator of the host device. The triggering logic block can determine whether a triggering condition has been satisfied for the operation based on an indicator received from the accelerator. If the triggering condition has been satisfied, the triggering logic block can obtain a piece of data generated from the accelerator from a memory location and execute the operation using the piece of data.
