The present disclosure provides for enhanced pipeline processing using different timing characteristics for aggregated carriers. A receiving device may receive a first component carrier and a second component carrier from a transmitting device during a subframe including a first set of symbols on the first component carrier and a second set of symbols on the second component carrier. The first component carrier may be a priority component carrier having a different timing characteristic than the second component carrier. The receiving device may process, using a hardware processing pipeline, the first set of symbols interleaved with the second set of symbols. The receiving device may transmit an acknowledgment, within the subframe, based on the processing of at least all of the first set of symbols.

In one embodiment, a network device includes an interface configured to receive a data packet including a header section, at least one parser to parse the data of the header section yielding a first header portion and a second header portion, a packet processing engine to fetch a first match-and-action table, match a first index having a corresponding first steering action entry in the first match-and-action table responsively to the first header portion, compute a cumulative lookup value based on the first header portion and the second header portion responsively to the first steering action entry, fetch a second match-and-action table responsively to the first steering action entry, match a second index having a corresponding second steering action entry in the second match-and-action table responsively to the cumulative lookup value, and steering the packet responsively to the second steering action entry.

Examples are disclosed for access to a storage device maintained at a server. In some examples, a network input/output device coupled to the server may allocate, in a memory of the server, a buffer, a doorbell, and a queue pair accessible to a client remote to the server. For these examples, the network input/output device may assign an Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) namespace context to the client. For these examples, indications of the allocated buffer, doorbell, queue pair, and namespace context may be transmitted to the client. Other examples are described and claimed.

Technologies for processing network packets by a host interface of a network interface controller (NIC) of a compute device. The host interface is configured to retrieve, by a symmetric multi-purpose (SMP) array of the host interface, a message from a message queue of the host interface and process, by a processor core of a plurality of processor cores of the SMP array, the message to identify a long-latency operation to be performed on at least a portion of a network packet associated with the message. The host interface is further configured to generate another message which includes an indication of the identified long-latency operation and a next step to be performed upon completion. Additionally, the host interface is configured to transmit the other message to a corresponding hardware unit scheduler as a function of the subsequent long-latency operation to be performed. Other embodiments are described herein.

The present invention relates to a reconfigurable switch forwarding engine parser capable of disabling hardware Trojans. The parser comprises a data preprocessing unit, several cascaded basic processing units and an extraction unit, wherein a key path of a basic processing unit of the first stage extracts and shifts a key bit keyword of a key, and sends a result to a data path of the current stage and a key path of the next stage; basic processing units of other stages carry out keyword extraction and shifting on a key frame and the data frame in sequence; and the extraction unit extracts the key frame and the data frame from a basic processing unit of the last stage, and forwards same to a subsequent packet processing part. The present invention can be widely applied to the design of the switch forwarding engine parser.

Technologies for providing streamlined provisioning of accelerated functions in a disaggregated architecture include a compute sled. The compute sled includes a network interface controller and circuitry to determine whether to accelerate a function of a workload executed by the compute sled, and send, to a memory sled and in response to a determination to accelerate the function, a data set on which the function is to operate. The circuitry is also to receive, from the memory sled, a service identifier indicative of a memory location independent handle for data associated with the function, send, to a compute device, a request to schedule acceleration of the function on the data set, receive a notification of completion of the acceleration of the function, and obtain, in response to receipt of the notification and using the service identifier, a resultant data set from the memory sled. The resultant data set was produced by an accelerator device during acceleration of the function on the data set. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

A system and method for wirelessly controlling, monitoring, and updating various welding parameters from a remote device using a single remote control. The remote does not need to have the software to communicate with the welding-type system prior to initiating communications with the welding-type system. Rather, the welding-type system can provide a code download to the remote to perform an over-the-air programming of the remote to configure the remote to control the welding-type system.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for implementing in Network Interface Controller (NIC) flow switching. Switching operations are effected via hardware-based forwarding mechanisms in apparatus such as NICs in a manner that does not employ use of computer system processor resources and is transparent to operating systems hosted by such computer systems. The forwarding mechanisms are configured to move or copy Media Access Control (MAC) frame data between receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) queues associated with different NIC ports that may be on the same NIC or separate NICs. The hardware-based switching operations effect forwarding of MAC frames between NIC ports using memory operations, thus reducing external network traffic, internal interconnect traffic, and processor workload associated with packet processing.

A terminal device transmits a signal to a base station apparatus through uplink. The terminal device considers a priority level for multiple MAC control elements in the logical channel prioritization procedure for the uplink, in a case where initial transmission is performed. At least first and second MAC control elements are included in the multiple MAC control elements. The first MAC control element provides the base station apparatus with information on an amount of first data available for transmission within a first buffer for the uplink. The second MAC control element provides the base station apparatus with information on amount of second data available for transmission within a second buffer for a first link that is used for communication between the terminal device and a different terminal device. The first MAC control element has a higher priority level than the second MAC control element except when being included for padding.

A domain-specific hardwired symbolic communications machine is described that processes information via the hardwired mapping of symbols from one or more domains onto other such domains, computing and communicating with improved security and reduced power consumption because it has no CPU, no Random Access Memory (RAM), no instruction registers, no Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), no operating system (OS) and no applications programming. The machine provides web services by recognizing valid requests based on the processing of symbols and the validating of those symbols according to various domains. In some embodiments the requests may conform or be related to, for example, Long Term Evolution (LTE), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or fourth generation (4G) wireless technology. Further, in some embodiments, the machine has no unconstrained RAM into which malware may insert itself and needs no anti-virus software.
