Towards portable end-to-end network performance characterization of SmartNICs
Tong Xing, Hesam Tajbakhsh, Israat Haque, Michio Honda, Antonio Barbalace · 2022
Emerging accelerated network devices, including SmartNICs (SNICs) with general-purpose CPUs - such as ARM, create new sources of queuing and processing delay in the hardware, network stack, and application. We therefore argue for the need of a framework to measure the application and network stack performance in SNIC-based host systems.
