Abstract: A memory device includes a target memory, having a memory address space, and a volatile buffer memory, which is coupled to receive data written over a bus to the memory device for storage in specified addresses within the memory address space. A memory controller is configured to receive, via the bus, a flush instruction and, in response to the flush instruction, to immediately flush the data held in the buffer memory with specified addresses within the memory address space to the target memory.

Abstract: A network interface controller includes a host interface, which is configured to be coupled to a host processor having a host memory. A network interface is configured to receive data packets from a network, each data packet including a header, which includes header fields, and a payload including data. Packet processing circuitry is configured to process one or more of the header fields and at least a part of the data and to select, responsively at least to the one or more of the header fields, a location in the host memory. The circuitry writes the data to the selected location and upon determining that the processed data satisfies a predefined criterion, asserts an interrupt on the host processor so as to cause the host processor to read the data from the selected location in the host memory.

Abstract: A network interface device includes a host interface for connection to a host processor and a network interface, which is configured to transmit and receive data packets over a network, and which comprises multiple distinct physical ports configured for connection to the network. Processing circuitry is configured to receive, via one of the physical ports, a data packet from the network and to decide, responsively to a destination identifier in the packet, whether to deliver a payload of the data packet to the host processor via the host interface or to forward the data packet to the network via another one of the physical ports.

Abstract: A method for data transfer includes transmitting a sequence of data packets, including at least a first packet and a second packet transmitted subsequently to the first packet, from a first computer over a network to a second computer in a single remote direct memory access (RDMA) data transfer transaction. Upon receipt of the second packet at the second computer without previously having received the first packet, a negative acknowledgment (NAK) packet is sent from the second computer over the network to the first computer, indicating that the first packet was not received. In response to the NAK packet, the first packet is retransmitted from the first computer to the second computer without retransmitting the second packet.

Abstract: A switch in a data network is configured to mediate data exchanges among network elements. The apparatus further includes a processor, which organizes the network elements into a hierarchical tree having a root node network element, vertex node network elements, and child node network elements that include leaf node network elements. The leaf node network elements are originate aggregation data and transmit the aggregation data to respective parent vertex node network elements. The vertex node network elements combine the aggregation data from at least a portion of the child node network elements, and transmit the combined aggregation data from the vertex node network elements to parent vertex node network elements. The root node network element is operative for initiating a reduction operation on the aggregation data.

Abstract: A method for congestion control includes receiving at a destination computer a packet transmitted on a given flow, in accordance with a predefined transport protocol, through a network by a transmitting network interface controller (NIC) of a source computer, and marked by an element in the network with a forward congestion notification. Upon receiving the marked packet in a receiving NIC of the destination computer, a congestion notification packet (CNP) indicating a flow to be throttled is immediately queued for transmission from the receiving NIC through the network to the source computer. Upon receiving the CNP in the transmitting NIC, transmission of further packets on at least the flow indicated by the CNP from the transmitting NIC to the network is immediately throttled, and an indication of the given flow is passed from the transmitting NIC to a protocol processing software stack running on the source computer.

Abstract: Apparatus for data communications includes a host interface and a network interface, which receives from a packet communication network data packets containing video data comprising interleaved words of luminance data and chrominance data. In one embodiment, packet processing circuitry separates the luminance data from the chrominance data and writes the luminance data, via the host interface, to a luminance buffer in the host memory while writing the chrominance data, via the host interface, to at least one chrominance buffer in the memory, separate from the luminance buffer. In another embodiment, in which the video data include data words of more than eight bits, the packet processing circuitry writes the video data to at least one buffer while justifying the video data in the memory so that the video data with respect to successive pixels in the sequence are byte-aligned in the buffer.
