Soaring demand for servers due to the rapid rise in data-center network traffic has also pushed demand for network interface controllers used to connect them. Thus, the need for...
SmartNICs boost server performance in cloud and private data centers by offloading network processing workloads from server CPUs. Learn how to design an FPGA based SmartNIC that...
To go beyond being a generic NIC, SmartNICs will demand more from the PCIe bus. Fifth-gen PCIe and protocols like CXL and CCIX are stepping up to the task. Soon we’ll be sharing...
SmartNICs incorporate various additional computational resources beyond a generic NIC. But like snowflakes, these architectures differ, so we’ll dive deep into several approaches...
Smartphones seemed to usher in the era of “smart” things and launched the Internet of Things revolution. So, what makes a SmartNIC smart—hardware, programming, or something more...
