Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for routing of streaming data as between multiple compute resources. For example, the system may comprise a processor, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a shared memory that is shared by a user space of an operating system for the processor and the FPGA, a network protocol stack, and driver code for execution by the processor. The driver code can be configured to (1) make the received streaming data available to a user mode software application for processing, (2) make data stored in the shared memory available to the FPGA via DMA transfers of data from the shared memory into the FPGA for processing thereby, (3) receive a stream of processed data from the FPGA, and (4) provide the received processed data to the network protocol stack for delivery to one or more data consumers. The shared memory can be accessible to the user mode for storing data produced by the user mode software application as a result of processing performed by the user mode software application on the streaming data received by the network protocol stack.
