Abstract: An embodiment of a semiconductor apparatus may include technology to receive a request for storage-related resources, and demand-query one or more persistent storage media devices for device-determined performance-related information in response to the request, where the device-determined performance-related information is based on dynamically measured performance of persistent storage media of the device itself. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: An embodiment of a semiconductor apparatus may include technology to segregate a persistent storage media into two or more segments, and collect telemetry information on a per segment-basis, wherein a segment granularity is smaller than a namespace granularity. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Technologies for variable extent storage include multiple computing devices in communication over an optical fabric. A computing device receives a key-value storage request from an application that is indicative of a key. The computing device identifies one or more non-volatile storage blocks to store a value associated with the key and issues a non-volatile memory (NVM) input/output (I/O) command indicative of the NVM storage blocks to an NVM subsystem. The key-value storage request may include a read request or a store request, and the I/O command may include a read command or a write command. The I/O command may be issued to an NVM subsystem over the optical fabric. The computing device may be embodied as a storage sled of a data center, and the application may be executed by a compute sled of the data center. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the disclosures describes a method that includes receiving multiple ingress Internet Protocol packets, each of the multiple ingress Internet Protocol packets having an Internet Protocol header and a Transmission Control Protocol segment having a Transmission Control Protocol header and a Transmission Control Protocol payload, where the multiple packets belonging to a same Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol flow. The method also includes preparing an Internet Protocol packet having a single Internet Protocol header and a single Transmission Control Protocol segment having a single Transmission Control Protocol header and a single payload formed by a combination of the Transmission Control Protocol segment payloads of the multiple Internet Protocol packets. The method further includes generating a signal that causes receive processing of the Internet Protocol packet.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides associating a receive packet with a selected one of a plurality of buckets in a table using a generated value based, at least in part, on the receive packet, and obtaining a connection context from the selected bucket. Other embodiments are disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: In general, the disclosure describes a variety of techniques that can enhance packet processing operations.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a method that includes causing the header of a packet to be stored in a set of at least one page of memory allocated to storing packet headers and causing the packet to be stored in a location not in the set.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides storing a packet header at a set of at least one page of memory allocated to storing packet headers, and storing the packet header and a packet payload at a location not in the set of at least one page of memory allocated to storing packet headers.

Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes a method of maintaining network protocol timers in data structures associated with different respective processors in a multi-processor system. The timers accessed by a respective one of the processors include timers of connections mapped to the processor.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides performing packet processing on one or more packets, and substantially simultaneously with said performing packet processing, using a data movement module to place one or more payloads corresponding to the one or more packets into a read buffer.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method of this embodiment provides receiving an indication on a network component that one or more packets have been received from a network; the network component notifying a TCP-A (transport control protocol—accelerated) driver that the one or more packets have arrived; a TCP-A driver performing packet processing for at least one of the one or more packets; and the TCP-A driver performing one or more operations that result in a data movement module placing one or more corresponding payloads of the at least one of the one or more packets into a read buffer.

Abstract: Systems and methods using network interface card-based (NIC-based) prefetching for host TCP context lookup are disclosed. The process generally includes hashing, by the NIC, a packet received over the network, computing a host hash table cache line in a host memory using the hash value and using a hash table pages table containing host memory physical page addresses of a host hash table, and computing a host context table cache line in a host memory using the hash value and using a context table pages table containing host memory physical page addresses of a host context table. The NIC may be initialized with the hash table pages table and the context table pages table as well as with the a set number of hash node entries in the hash table of the host memory.
