Abstract: Techniques for time-aware remote data transfers. A time may be associated with a remote direct memory access (RDMA) operation in a translation protection table (TPT). The RDMA operation may be permitted or restricted based on the time in the TPT.

Abstract: Examples described herein relates to a network interface apparatus that includes packet processing circuitry and a bus interface. In some examples, the packet processing circuitry to: process a received packet that includes data, a request to perform a write operation to write the data to a cache, and an indicator that the data is to be durable and based at least on the received packet including the request and the indicator, cause the data to be written to the cache and non-volatile memory. In some examples, the packet processing circuitry is to issue a command to an input output (IO) controller to cause the IO controller to write the data to the cache and the non-volatile memory.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface device that includes circuitry to cause transmission of a packet following transmission of one or more data packets to a receiver, wherein the packet comprises one or more of: a count of transmitted data, a timestamp of transmission of the packet, and/or an index value to one or more of a count of transmitted data and a timestamp of transmission of the packet. In some examples, the network interface device includes circuitry to receive, from the receiver, a second packet that includes a copy of the count of transmitted data and the timestamp of transmission of the packet or the index from the packet. In some examples, the network interface device includes circuitry to perform congestion control based on the received copy of the count of transmitted data and the timestamp of transmission of the packet.

Abstract: A transmitter can manage when a transmit queue is permitted to transmit and an amount of data permitted to be transmitted. After a transmit queue is permitted to transmit, the transmit queue can be placed in a sleep state if the transmit queue has exceeded its permitted data transmission quota. The wake time of the transmit queue can be scheduled based on a token accumulation rate for the transmit queue. The token accumulation rate can be increased if the transmit queue has other data to transmit after the data transmission. The token accumulation rate can be decreased if the transmit does not have other data to transmit.

Abstract: At a network-connected device, congestion at an egress queue can be detected. A potential source of congestion can be identified based on characteristics of a packet that caused the egress queue to become congested. The source of congestion can be a congestion group of transmitters. A group congestion message can be sent to the group of transmitters. The message can identify the packet that caused the egress queue to become congested. Transmitters can respond to the message by reducing their peak transmission rate.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface device that includes circuitry to perform operations, offloaded from a host, to identify at least one locator of at least one target storage associated with a storage access command based on operations selected from among multiple available operations, wherein the available operations comprise two or more: entry lookup by the network interface device, hash-based calculation on the network interface device, or control plane processing on the network interface device.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a first computing platform including a processor to execute a first trusted executed environment (TEE) to host a first plurality of virtual machines and a first network interface controller to establish a trusted communication channel with a second computing platform via an orchestration controller.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface device comprising: a host interface, a direct memory access (DMA) engine, and circuitry to allocate a region in a cache to store a context of a connection. In some examples, the circuitry is to allocate a region in a cache to store a context of a connection based on connection reliability and wherein connection reliability comprises use of a reliable transport protocol or non-use of a reliable transport protocol. In some examples, the circuitry is to allocate a region in a cache to store a context of a connection based on expected length of runtime of the connection and the expected length of runtime of the connection is based on a historic average amount of time the context for the connection was stored in the cache. In some examples, the circuitry is to allocate a region in a cache to store a context of a connection based on content transmitted and the content transmitted comprises congestion messaging payload or acknowledgement.

Abstract: Examples described herein include configuration of a transmitting network device to identify a source queue-pair identifier in at least some of the packets that are transmitted to an endpoint destination. A network device that receives packets and experiences congestion can determine if a congestion causing packet includes a source queue-pair identifier. If the congestion causing packet includes a source queue-pair identifier, the network device can form and transmit a congestion notification message with a copy of the source queue-pair identifier to the transmitting network device. The transmitting network device can access a context for the congestion causing packet using the source queue-pair identifier without having to perform a lookup to identify the context.

Abstract: An apparatus for performing the division of a first operand by a second operand by iteratively producing a series of partial remainders and predicted quotient bits utilizing the generation of multiples of the second operand and the selection of one of the generated multiples. The second operand is first selected as a first partial remainder. A first quotient bit is predicted from the first and second operands and a next quotient bit is predicted from the partial remainder and the second operand. One of the generated multiples is selected for producing a next partial remainder based upon the next quotient prediction. A next partial remainder is then produced from the produced partial remainder and the selected multiple of the second operand.
