Abstract
A highly-programmable access node is described that can be configured and optimized to perform input and output (I/O) tasks, such as storage and retrieval of data to and from storage devices (such as solid state drives), networking, data processing, and the like. For example, the access node may be configured to execute a large number of data I/O processing tasks relative to a number of instructions that are processed. The access node may be highly programmable such that the access node may expose hardware primitives for selecting and programmatically configuring data processing operations. As one example, the access node may be used to provide high-speed connectivity and I/O operations between and on behalf of computing devices and storage components of a network, such as for providing interconnectivity between those devices and a switch fabric of a data center.
