1. Offloading Workloads from CPU of Multiplayer Game Server to FPGA : SmartNIC implementation with UDP Communication
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : For multiplayer games, the performance of the server’s Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the main factor that limits the number of players on the server at the same time. Compared with the CPU, the Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) architecture has no instructions set and no shared memory. READ MORE

2. Multipath transport protocol offloading
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för matematik och datavetenskap (from 2013); Karlstads universitet/Avdelningen för datavetenskapAbstract : Recently, we have seen an evolution of programmable network devices, where it is possible to customize packet processing inside the data plane at an unprecedented level. This is in contrast to traditional approaches, where networking device functionality is fixed and defined by the ASIC and customers need to wait possibly years before the vendors release new versions that add features required by customers.

3. Latency Aware SmartNIC based Load Balancer (LASLB)
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för matematik och datavetenskap (from 2013)Abstract : In the 21th century, we see a trend in which CPU processing power is not evolving at the same pace as it did in the century before. Also, in the current generation, the data requirements and the need for higher speed are increasing every day. This increasing demand requires multiple middlebox instances in order to scale.

4. Offloading Virtual Network Functions – Hierarchical Approach
University essay from Karlstads universitetAbstract : Next generation mobile networks are designed to run in a virtualized environment, enabling rapid infrastructure deployment and high flexibility for coping with increasing traffic demands and new service requirements. Such network function virtualization imposes additional packet latencies and potential bottlenecks not present in legacy network equipment when run on dedicated hardware; such bottlenecks include PCIe transfer delays, virtualization overhead, and utilizing commodity server hardware which is not optimized for packet processing operations.

5. Towards Machine Learning Inference in the Data Plane
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för matematik och datavetenskap (from 2013)Abstract : Recently, machine learning has been considered an important tool for various networkingrelated use cases such as intrusion detection, flow classification, etc. Traditionally, machinelearning based classification algorithms run on dedicated machines that are outside of thefast path, e.g. on Deep Packet Inspection boxes, etc. READ MORE
