Fast Network Interface Cards (FastNICs)
Abstract
The Fast Network Interface Cards (FastNICs) program is creating new networking technologies to accelerate the computation of distributed applications. Today's network and computing subsystems are badly out of balance with each other, a result of incremental technology advances in networking and computing market silos. This has produced a bottleneck at the network interface used to connect a machine to an external network, severely limiting the input/output capability. FastNICs will develop new input/output technologies based on more realistic models of complex multiprocessor compute, interconnect, and memory subsystems. FastNICs aims to enable a dramatic increase in computational throughput for distributed applications such as iterative training of machine learning systems.
