Abstract: A peripheral device includes a bus interface and circuitry. The bus interface is to exchange bus transactions over a peripheral bus that permits out-of-order transfer of at least some of the bus transactions. The circuitry is to generate a plurality of streams of the bus transactions, to select, from among the plurality of streams, one or more streams for which transaction ordering is required, to enforce the transaction ordering among the bus transactions of the selected streams, and to send the bus transactions via the bus interface to the peripheral bus.

Abstract: Various embodiments include techniques for performing self-synchronizing remote memory operations in a data center or multiprocessor computing system. During a remote memory operation, a source processor transmits multiple data segments to a destination processor. For each data segment, the source processor transmits a remote memory operation to the destination processor that includes associated metadata that identifies the memory location of a corresponding synchronization object representing a count of data segments to be stored or a flag for each data segment to be stored. The remote memory operation along with the metadata is transmitted as a single unit to the destination processor. The destination processor splits the operation into the remote memory operation and the memory synchronization operation.

Abstract: In various examples, a memory model may support multicasting where a single request for a memory access operation may be propagated to multiple physical addresses associated with multiple processing elements (e.g., corresponding to respective local memory). Thus, the request may cause data to be read from and/or written to memory for each of the processing elements. In some examples, a memory model exposes multicasting to processes. This may include providing for separate multicast and unicast instructions or shared instructions with one or more parameters (e.g., indicating a virtual address) being used to indicate multicasting or unicasting. Additionally or alternatively, whether a request(s) is processed using multicasting or unicasting may be opaque to a process and/or application or may otherwise be determined by the system. One or more constraints may be imposed on processing requests using multicasting to maintain a coherent memory interface.

Abstract: In various examples, a single notification (e.g., a request for a memory access operation) that a processing element (PE) has reached a synchronization barrier may be propagated to multiple physical addresses (PAs) and/or devices associated with multiple processing elements. Thus, the notification may allow an indication that the processing element has reached the synchronization barrier to be recoded at multiple targets. Each notification may access the PAs of each PE and/or device of a barrier group to update a corresponding counter. The PEs and/or devices may poll or otherwise use the counter to determine when each PE of the group has reached the synchronization barrier. When a corresponding counter indicates synchronization at the synchronization barrier, a PE may proceed with performing a compute task asynchronously with one or more other PEs until a subsequent synchronization barrier may be reached.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein are for one or more processing units to be associated with at least one switch or router and to enable the at least one switch or router to receive a communication from a source host machine, where the communication includes a request associated with memory access protocols of a memory space of a destination host machine, and where the communication is to be provided to the destination host machine to enable subsequent communications from the source host machine that are based in part on the memory access protocols received in response to the request.

Abstract: Technologies for encrypting communication links between devices are described. A method includes generating a first initialization vector (IV), from a first subspace of IVs, for a first cryptographic ordered flow, and a second IV, from a second subspace of IVs that are mutually exclusive from the first subspace. The first and second cryptographic ordered flows share a key to secure multipath routing in a fabric between devices. The method sends, to the second device, a first packet for the first cryptographic ordered flow and a second packet for the second cryptographic ordered flow. The first packet includes a first security tag with the first IV and a first payload encrypted using the first IV and a first key. The second packet includes a second security tag with the second IV and a second payload encrypted using the second IV and a second key.
