Abstract: Technologies for spreading a burst of data across multiple network paths in remote direct memory access (RDMA) over converged Ethernet (RoCE) and InfiniBand are described. A network interface controller sends a first burst of a transport flow directed to a second node over a first network path. The network interface controller determines that a second burst is to be sent over a different network path, and identifies a second network path using a multipath context. The multipath context stores a first weight value or a first state associated with the first network path and a second weight value or a second state associated with the second network path. The network interface controller sends the second burst of data to the second node via the second network path.

Abstract: A network adapter includes a network interface, a host interface and processing circuitry. The network interface connects to a communication network for communicating with remote targets. The host interface connects to a host that accesses a Multi-Channel Send Queue (MCSQ) storing Work Requests (WRs) originating from client processes running on the host. The processing circuitry is configured to retrieve WRs from the MCSQ and distribute the WRs among multiple Send Queues (SQs) accessible by the processing circuitry, and retrieve WRs from the multiple NSQs and execute data transmission operations specified in the WRs retrieved from the multiple NSQs.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for processing data packets. An example network adapter may include a network interface operatively coupled to a communication network and a packet processing circuitry operatively coupled to the network interface. The packet processing circuitry may receive, via the network interface, a message; retrieve, via a packet processing circuitry, a work queue element (WQE) index identifying a position of a WQE in a receive queue; determine that the message is associated with a small payload; process the message without consuming the WQE; receive, via the network interface, a subsequent message; and process the subsequent message using the WQE. In this way, the systems and methods describe herein reduce the latency in processing of the data packets.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques for dynamic memory allocation using a shared free list. A user tag is received, and a hashed user tag is generated. A first reference to an entry in a second data structure is identified in a first data structure using the hashed user tag. The entry includes multiple user tags. Responsive to determining that the multiple user tags do not include the user tag, a memory address is identified in a third data structure. The memory address is removed from the third data structure. Memory is allocated for a user context associated with the user tag at the memory address. The user tag is added to the second data structure.
