Abstract: Methods and apparatus for secure networking protocol optimization via NIC hardware offloading. Under a method, security offload entries are cached in a flow table or a security database offload table on a network interface coupled to a host that implements a host security database mapping flows to Security Association (SA) contexts. Each security offload entry includes information identify a flow and information, such as an offset value, to locate a corresponding entry for the flow in the host security database. Hardware descriptors for received packets that belong to flows with matching security offload entries are generated and marked with the information used to locate the corresponding entries in the host security database. The hardware descriptors are processed by software on the host and the location information is used to de-reference the location of applicable entries in the host security database.

Abstract: A system including a sensor interface for determining a substitute frequency value via a sensor interface is provided. The system can include a first circuit receiving a frequency signal. The system can also include a sensor interface coupled to the first circuit and configured to determine a substitute frequency value based on the frequency signal. The system can also include a second circuit providing the substitute frequency value output from the sensor interface. The second circuit can provide the substitute frequency value in place of an analog input value by mimicking the behavior of an analog-to-digital converter. An apparatus including the sensor interface and methods of determining the substitute frequency value using a sensor interface are also provided.

Abstract: An accelerator device determines a compression format based on a header of a structured data element to be decompressed. The accelerator device may configure the accelerator device based on the compression format. The accelerator device may decompress a data block of the structured data element based on the configuration.

Abstract: Examples include techniques for monitoring a data packet transfer rate at an interface queue, and based at least in part on a comparison of the data packet transfer rate to a threshold, assigning the interface queue from a core of a first class to a core of a second class or assigning the interface queue from a core of the second class to a core of the first class.
