Abstract. Current high-performance computer systems are unable to saturate the latest available high-bandwidth networks such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
This work analyzes the performance of hypothetical systems in which the NIC is more closely coupled to the CPU, including integration on the CPU die, ...
We find that systems with high-latency NICs spend a significant amount of time in the device driver. NIC integration can substantially reduce this overhead, ...
