- Topic: Enabling an Application-Aware Network with SmartNICs to Accelerate Latency-Critical Online Services
- Datacenters traditionally operate with a strict boundary between network and compute. The increasing demands of today’s datacenters has instigated a push toward merging the two, giving rise to the advent of smartNICs. While tightly coupled with their hosts, smartNICs allow for the offloading of application level hints, enabling unique network-compute performance optimizations, which boost server throughput under very tight tail latency SLOs for latency-critical microservices. My work identifies prime use cases for re-architecting the datacenter using smartNICs and clarifies why smartNICs should co-exist, alongside server grade CPUs, as first-class citizens within the datacenter.
