Patent ID: 11228539

Abstract:
Technologies for network interface controllers (NICs) include a compute sled and an accelerator sled in communication over a network. The accelerator sled configures a virtual switch endpoint associated with a remote direct memory access (RDMA) server instance that is associated with a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) of the accelerator sled. The accelerator sled updates local software defined networking (SDN) tables with a virtual tunnel associated with the virtual switch endpoint and a remote compute sled. A virtual switch of the accelerator sled switches virtual tunnel traffic from the remote compute sled to the RDMA server instance, which transfers data to or from the FPGA. The compute sled also updates a local SDN table with the virtual tunnel, and a virtual switch of the compute sled switches virtual tunnel traffic to or from the accelerator sled. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
