A network adapter including a host interface, a network interface, packet processing circuitry, and Translation-as-a-Service (TaaS) circuitry. The host interface is to communicate with a host over a peripheral bus. The network interface is to send and receive packets to and from a network for the host. The packet processing circuitry is to process the packets. The TaaS circuitry is integrated in the network adapter and is to (i) receive from a requesting device a request to translate an input address into a requested address in a requested address space, (ii) translate the input address into the one or more requested addresses, and (iii) return the one or more requested addresses to the requesting device.

Network adapter providing address translation as a service

A network adapter includes a network interface, a bus interface, a hardware-implemented data-path and a programmable Data-Plane Accelerator (DPA). The network interface is to communicate with a network. The bus interface is to communicate with an external device over a peripheral bus. The hardware-implemented data-path includes a plurality of packet-processing engines to process data units exchanged between the network and the external device. The DPA is to expose on the peripheral bus a User-Defined Peripheral-bus Device (UDPD), to run user-programmable logic that implements the UDPD, and to process transactions issued from the external device to the UDPD by reusing one or more of the packet-processing engines of the data-path.

A system for transmitting data is described, among other things. An illustrative system is disclosed to include one or more circuits to perform transmitting message-based data over packets. The circuits are capable of identifying a first message, transmitting a first portion of the first message in a first packet, the first packet including a bit indicating the first packet is message-based, and transmitting an end portion of the first message in a second packet, the second packet including a first bit indicating the second packet is message-based and a second bit indicating the second packet comprises the end portion of the first message.

A computerized system operating in conjunction with computerized apparatus and with a fabric target service in data communication with the computerized apparatus, the system comprising functionality residing on the computerized apparatus, and functionality residing on the fabric target service, which, when operating in combination, enable the computerized apparatus to coordinate access to data.

Apparatus, method and computer program product for efficient software-defined network accelerated processing using storage devices which are local relative to a host

One embodiment includes data communication apparatus including a storage sub-system to be connected to storage devices, and processing circuitry to manage transfer of content with the storage devices over the storage sub-system responsively to content transfer requests, while pacing commencement of serving of respective ones of the content transfer requests responsively to availability of spare data capacity of the storage sub-system, find a malfunctioning storage device currently assigned a given data capacity of the storage sub-system and currently assigned to serve at least one content transfer request, and reallocate the given data capacity of the storage sub-system currently assigned to the malfunctioning storage device for use by at least another one of the storage devices while the at least one content transfer request assigned to be served by the malfunctioning storage device is still awaiting completion by the malfunctioning storage device.

Pacing in a storage sub-system

In one embodiment, data communication apparatus includes a network interface including one or more ports for connection to a packet data network and configured to receive content transfer requests from at least one remote device over the network, a storage sub-system to be connected to local peripheral storage devices, and including at least one peripheral interface, and a memory sub-system including a cache and RAM, and processing circuitry to manage transfer of content between the remote device(s) and the local peripheral storage devices via the peripheral interface(s) and the cache, responsively to the content transfer requests, while pacing commencement of serving of respective ones of the content transfer requests responsively to a metric of the storage sub-system so that while ones of the content transfer requests are being served, other ones of the content transfer requests pending serving are queued in at least one pending queue.
