Abstract:
Network communication is increasingly becoming the performance bottleneck for scaled-out HPC and warehouse applications, as enormous CPU processing is devoted to packet processing, contributing to long latencies. To reduce this latency, advanced network interface cards known as SmartNICs have been introduced to handle networking functions. Dozens of commercial FPGA-based SmartNICs have been released (e.g., [1] – [3] and see surveys [4] , [5] ). Other commercial SmartNICs have been developed also with the aim of near-network processing [6] – [9] . There is also prior art that uses SmartNICs as compute resources [10] , [11] . For instance, COPA [12] , INCA [13] , sPIN [14] provide a portable programming model to offload simple packet processing. Other work (e.g., [15] – [21] ) supports collectives in FPGA-based hardware.
