Abstract: Computing apparatus includes a host computer, including multiple non-uniform memory access (NUMA) nodes, including at least first and second NUMA nodes, which include first and second local memories and first and second host bus interfaces for connection to first and second peripheral component buses, respectively. A network interface controller (NIC) is to receive a definition of a memory region extending over respective first and second parts of the first and second local memories and to receive a memory mapping with respect to the memory region that is applicable to both the first and second local memories, and to apply the memory mapping in writing data to the memory region via first and second NIC bus interfaces in a sequence of direct memory access (DMA) transactions to the respective first and second parts of the first and second local memories in response to packets received through a network port.

Abstract: A network interface device is connected to a host computer by having a memory controller, and a scatter-gather offload engine linked to the memory controller. The network interface device prepares a descriptor including a plurality of specified memory locations in the host computer, incorporates the descriptor in exactly one upload packet, transmits the upload packet to the scatter-gather offload engine via the uplink, invokes the scatter-gather offload engine to perform memory access operations cooperatively with the memory controller at the specified memory locations of the descriptor, and accepts results of the memory access operations.

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: Computing apparatus includes a host computer, including at least first and second host bus interfaces. A network interface controller (NIC) includes a network port, for connection to a packet communication network, and first and second NIC bus interfaces, which communicate via first and second peripheral component buses with the first and second host bus interfaces, respectively. Packet processing logic, in response to packets received through the network port, writes data to the host memory concurrently via both the first and second NIC bus interfaces in a sequence of direct memory access (DMA) transactions, and after writing the data in any given DMA transaction, writes a completion report to the host memory with respect to the given DMA transaction while verifying that the completion report will be available to the CPU only after all the data in the given DMA transaction have been written to the host memory.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor, a first interface configured to connect to a bus of the apparatus, a second interface configured to communicate over a packet network, and circuitry. The circuitry is configured to, in a first operational mode, exchange data between the processor and one or more remote devices over the packet network, via the second interface, and in a second operational mode, monitor the bus using the first interface, detect a predefined trigger event occurring on the bus and, in response to detecting the trigger event, log one or more transactions on the bus that are adjacent to the trigger event and generate one or more protocol-analysis packets comprising at least part of the logged transactions.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are described that provide for a mechanism for allocating physical device memory for one or more virtual functions. In particular, a memory allocating framework is provided to utilize device memory more efficiently by mapping at least one target location of the physical memory in a Base Address Register (BAR) associated with the virtual function from a plurality of available target locations based on an allocation request. The memory allocating framework is further configured to compare an indication associated with the requesting virtual function to an identifier of the requested target location. Moreover, the memory allocating framework is further configured to allow the simultaneous use of more than one virtual function at a time while providing isolation between multiple virtual functions.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an interface and memory acquisition circuitry. The interface is configured to communicate over a bus operating in accordance with a bus protocol, which supports address-translation transactions that translate between bus addresses in an address space of the bus and physical memory addresses in an address space of a memory. The memory acquisition circuitry is configured to read data from the memory by issuing over the bus, using the bus protocol, one or more requests that (i) specify addresses to be read in terms of the physical memory addresses, and (ii) indicate that the physical memory addresses in the requests have been translated from corresponding bus addresses even though the addresses were not obtained by any address-translation transaction over the bus.
