Claim 8:
9. A method for facilitating efficient operation management in a network interface controller (NIC), the method comprising:
obtaining, via a host interface coupling the NIC to a host device, a remote direct memory access (RDMA) operation associated with an accelerator of the host device;
determining whether a triggering condition has been satisfied for the RDMA operation based on an indicator received from the accelerator;
incrementing a counter value in counter circuitry of the NIC based on the indicator received from the accelerator;
receiving a plurality of indicators from the accelerator;
incrementing the counter value stored by the counter circuitry for a respective indicator; and
in response to determining that the triggering condition has been satisfied:
obtaining a piece of data generated from the accelerator from a predetermined memory location; and
issuing the RDMA operation by including the piece of data as a payload or parameter of the RDMA operation.
