Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A network interface controller (NIC), comprising:
a host interface coupling a host device;
a counter circuitry; and
a triggering logic block to:
obtain, via the host interface from the host device, a remote direct memory access (RDMA) operation associated with an accelerator of the host device;
determine whether a triggering condition has been satisfied for the RDMA operation based on an indicator received from the accelerator;
increment a counter value stored by the counter circuitry based on the indicator received from the accelerator;
determine whether the triggering condition has been satisfied by comparing the counter value with a threshold value indicated by the RDMA operation; and
in response to determining that the triggering condition has been satisfied:
obtain a piece of data generated from the accelerator from a predetermined memory location; and

issue the RDMA operation by including the piece of data as a payload or parameter of the RDMA operation.
