Low latency in-line network compute platform

Abstract

A data processing system and method include an in-line network compute platform. A network interface controller receives, via a plurality of receiving pathways, data across a data communication network. The network interface controller performs inspection of the received data and identifies respective endpoint nodes to receive at least some of the received data, wherein the endpoint nodes are comprised in a parallel compute array. The network interface controller parses, as a function of the respective endpoint nodes, the at least some of the received data and normalizes, as a function of the respective endpoint nodes, the parsed at least some of the received data. Further the network interface controller routes the normalized, parsed at least some of the data from the network path panel to the respective endpoint nodes within the parallel array. The network interface controller and the parallel compute array are comprised in the in-line network compute platform.
