  • Patent number: 11960750
    Abstract: Replication of data from a primary computing system to a secondary computing system. The replication is single-threaded or multi-threaded depending on one or more characteristics of the data to be replicated. As an example, the characteristics could include the type of data being replicated and/or the variability on that data. Also, the multi-threading capabilities of the primary and secondary computing systems are determined. Then, based on the identified one or more characteristics of the data, the primary computing system decides whether to perform multi-threaded replication and the multi-threading parameters of the replication based on the one or more characteristics of that data, as well as on the multi-threading capabilities of the primary and secondary computing system.

  • Publication number: 20230300087
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a network forwarding IC with packet processing pipelines, at least one of which includes a parser, a set of match-action stages, and a deparser. The parser is configured to receive a packet and generate a PHV including a first number of data containers storing data for the packet. A first match-action stage is configured to receive the PHV from the parser and expand the PHV to a second, larger number of data containers storing data for the packet. Each of a set of intermediate match-action stage is configured to receive the expanded PHV from a previous stage and provide the expanded PHV to a subsequent stage. A final match-action stage is configured to receive the expanded PHV and reduce the PHV to the first number of data containers. The deparser is configured to receive the reduced PHV from the final match-action stage and reconstruct the packet.
