Abstract: A computing system includes at least one peripheral bus, a peripheral device connected to the at least one peripheral bus, at least one memory, and first and second system components. The first system component is (i) associated with a first address space in the at least one memory and (ii) connected to the peripheral device via the at least one peripheral bus. The second system component is (i) associated with a second address space in the at least one memory and (ii) connected to the peripheral device via the at least one peripheral bus. The first system component is arranged to cause the peripheral device to access the second address space that is associated with the second system component.

Abstract: A computing device which may include a hardware-configurable device reconfigurable to perform a series of logical operations to determine, based on parameters related to execution of a job received by the hardware-configurable device, whether or not the job is permissible for execution.

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: In one embodiment, a system includes a peripheral device including a hardware clock, and processing circuitry to read a given work request entry stored with a plurality of work request entries in at least one work queue in a memory, the given work request entry including timing data and an operator, the timing data being indicative of a time at which a work request should be executed, retrieve a clock value from the hardware clock, and execute the work request with a workload while execution of the work request is timed responsively to the timing data and the operator and the retrieved clock value.

Abstract: A computer peripheral device includes a host interface, which is configured to communicate over a bus with a host processor and with a system memory of the host processor. Processing circuitry in the peripheral device is configured to receive and execute work items submitted to the peripheral device by client processes running on the host processor, and responsively to completing execution of the work items, to write completion reports to the system memory, including first completion reports of a first data size and second completion reports of a second data size, which is smaller than the first data size.
