  • Patent number: 10650452
    Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for offloading the processing of data packets. For example, incoming data packets can be processed through an offload processor to generate a new stream of outgoing data packets that organize data from the data packets in a manner different than the incoming data packets. Furthermore, in an exemplary embodiment, the offloaded processing can be resident in an intelligent switch, such as an intelligent switch upstream or downstream from an electronic trading platform.

  • Publication number: 20200111163
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for routing of streaming data as between multiple compute resources. For example, the system may comprise a processor, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a shared memory that is shared by a user space of an operating system for the processor and the FPGA, a network protocol stack, and driver code for execution by the processor. The driver code can be configured to (1) copy the streaming data received by the network protocol stack into the shared memory, (2) facilitate DMA transfers of the streaming data from the shared memory into the FPGA for processing thereby, (3) receive a stream of processed data from the FPGA, and (4) deliver the received processed data to the network protocol stack for delivery to one or more data consumers.

  • Patent number: 10504184
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for fast track routing of streaming data as between multiple compute resources. For example, the system may comprise a first processor, a second processor, a shared memory that is mapped into a kernel and user space of an operating system for the processor, a network protocol stack, and driver code for execution within the kernel space of the operating system while the operating system is in the kernel mode. The driver code can be configured to (1) maintain a kernel level interface into the network protocol stack, (2) copy the streaming data from the network protocol stack into the shared memory, wherein the copy operation is performed by the driver code without the operating system transitioning to the user mode, and (3) facilitate DMA transfers of data from the shared memory into the second processor for processing thereby.
