    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for preventing or minimizing completion timeout errors on a computer device. An apparatus includes a processing logic circuit configured to perform transactions requested by a requester device, and a timeout prevention logic coupled to the processing logic circuit. The timeout prevention logic includes a timeout logic and a moderation logic. The timeout logic is configured to, when the processing logic circuit fails to complete a particular transaction requested by the requester device within a reconfigurable time period, generate a timeout event and complete the particular requested transaction. The moderation logic is configured to determine a number of timeout events generated by the timeout logic during a monitoring time period, and set the reconfigurable time period based on the number of timeout events generated by the timeout logic during the monitoring time period.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed herein for remote, direct memory access (RDMA) technology that enables direct memory access from one host computer memory to another host computer memory over a physical or virtual computer network according to a number of different RDMA protocols. In one example, a method includes receiving remote direct memory access (RDMA) packets via a network adapter, deriving a protocol index identifying an RDMA protocol used to encode data for an RDMA transaction associated with the RDMA packets, applying the protocol index to a generate RDMA commands from header information in at least one of the received RDMA packets, and performing an RDMA operation using the RDMA commands.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for reducing the number of write operations performed to a storage-class memory in a virtualized environment. In one embodiment, when a memory page is de-allocated from a virtual machine, the memory page and/or the subpages of the memory page are marked as “trimmed” in a control table such that any read to the memory page or subpages is denied, and no physical memory initialization is performed to the memory page or subpages. A de-allocated memory page or subpage is only initialized when it is reallocated and is to be written to by the virtual machine to which the memory page is reallocated.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention there may be provided a method for hybrid remote direct memory access (RDMA), the method may include: (i) receiving, by a first computer, a packet that was sent over a network from a second computer; wherein the packet may include data and metadata; (ii) determining, in response to the metadata, whether the data should be (a) directly written to a first application memory of the first computer by a first hardware accelerator of the first computer; or (b) indirectly written to the first application memory; (iii) indirectly writing the data to the first application memory if it determined that the data should be indirectly written to the first application memory; (iv) if it determined that the data should be directly written to the first application memory then: (iv.a) directly writing, by the first hardware accelerator the data to the first application memory without writing the data to any buffer of the operating system; and (iv.b) informing a first RDMA software module, by the first hardware accelerator, that the data was directly written to the first application memory; and (v) notifying, by the first RDMA software module, a second computer about a completion of an RDMA transaction during which the data was directly written to the first application memory.

    Abstract: A peripheral device may implement storage virtualization for non-volatile storage devices connected to the peripheral device. A host system connected to the peripheral device may host one or multiple virtual machines. The peripheral device may implement different virtual interfaces for the virtual machines or the host system that present a storage partition at a non-volatile storage device to the virtual machine or host system for storage. Access requests from the virtual machines or host system are directed to the respective virtual interface at the peripheral device. The peripheral device may perform data encryption or decryption, or may perform throttling of access requests. The peripheral device may generate and send physical access requests to perform the access requests received via the virtual interfaces to the non-volatile storage devices. Completion of the access requests may be indicated to the virtual machines via the virtual interfaces.

    Abstract: A processor in a peripheral device can include a wait-for-event mechanism, through which the processor can enter low-power mode and be woken from lower-power mode with an event. Using an event, rather than an interrupt, allows the processor to wake without the latency incurred by an interrupt handling routine. In various implementations, the processor may be configured to execute a sequence of instructions that include a wait-for-event instruction. The wait-for-event instruction can be called when the processor is idle. The wait-for-event instruction may initiate a low-power mode for the processor, wherein the processor suspends executing the sequence of instructions. The processor may further be configured to receive, at an event input, an event signal. The event signal may cause the processor to exit the low-power mode and to resume executing the sequence of instructions from the point at which the processor suspended executing the sequence of instructions.

    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for connection establishment over a network that does not require a user application to establish an explicit connection with a target application. In some implementations, provided is an apparatus configured to communicate with a network and a host device. The apparatus may receive a message and destination information associated with the message from the host device. The apparatus may further determine, using the destination information, a transport context from a plurality of transport contexts. The transport context may include a state of a connection with a destination on the network. The destination on the network may be associated with the destination information.
