Abstract: A system including an acceleration device including input circuitry configured, for each of a first plurality of video frames to be encoded, to receive an input including at least one raw video frame and at least one reference frame, and to divide each of the first plurality of video frames to be encoded into a second plurality of blocks, and similarity computation circuitry configured, for each one of the first plurality of video frame to be encoded: for each block of the second plurality of blocks, to produce a score of result blocks based on similarity of each block in each frame to be encoded to every block of the reference frame, an AC energy coefficient, and a displacement vector. Related apparatus and methods are also provided.

Abstract: A network adapter includes a receive (RX) pipeline, a transmit (TX) pipeline, hardware-implemented congestion-control circuitry, and a congestion-control processor. The RX pipeline is configured to receive packets from a network and process the received packets. The TX pipeline is configured to transmit packets to the network. The hardware-implemented congestion-control circuitry is configured to receive, from the TX pipeline and from the RX pipeline, Congestion-Control (CC) events derived from at least some of the packets transmitted to the network and from at least some of the packets received from the network, and to pre-process the CC events. The congestion-control processor is configured to receive the pre-processed CC events from the congestion-control circuitry, and to throttle a transmission rate of the packets transmitted to the network by the TX pipeline responsively to the pre-processed CC events.
