“…Os autores não mencionam a linguagem utilizada no desenvolvimento dos microsserviços que rodam na plataforma. Choi et al [Choi et al 2019] projetaram o arcabouço denominado λ-NIC para contornar a baixa eficiência de CPUs em servidores, executando funções lambda diretamente na SmartNIC. No λ-NIC as funções lambda são construídas em Micro C, uma versão simplificada da linguagem C. No entanto, as funções escritas em eBPF são mais flexíveis e podem realizar um conjunto amplo de operações essenciais na análise e detecção de ameaças tanto no cabeçalho e payload do pacote.…”

Segurança de dados tornou-se um fator crucial no contexto de redes de computadores. Entre 2015 e 2020, estima-se que o prejuízo causado pelo roubo de informações na Internet seja de R$ 26 trilhões. Nesse cenário, Sistemas de Detecção de Intrusão (SDIs) são elementos essenciais na busca de ameaças. Contudo, SDIs são instalados em máquinas convencionais com pouco poder de processamento e altos custos operacionais. Ofﬂoading de funções de rede em SmartNICs e o paradigma Serverless surgem como soluções eﬁcientes, pois combinam ﬂexibilidade e programabilidade com poder de processamento de pacotes em hardware. Nesse trabalho propomos um SDI Serverless com ofﬂoading de ﬁltros deﬁnidos pelo usuário na SmartNIC Netronome. Foram criados diferentes ﬁltros usando a tecnologia eBPF para validar o sistema. Os resultados obtidos mostram que ataques são detectados em taxa de linha.

“…In particular, to address the development abstraction in server application offloading, Floem [50] provides programming abstractions for the purpose of data placement, caching, and parallelism, and communication policies between program components across devices. The state-of-the-art SmartNICs offer high-speed packet processing on the order of 400 Gb/s [51].…”

In comparison with cloud computing, edge computing offers processing at locations closer to end devices and reduces the user experienced latency. The new recent paradigm of innetwork computing employs programmable network elements to compute on the path and prior to traffic reaching the edge or cloud servers. It advances common edge/cloud server based computing through proposing line rate processing capabilities at closer locations to the end devices. This paper discusses use cases, enabler technologies and protocols for in-network computing. According to our study, considering programmable data plane as an enabler technology, potential in-network computing applications are in-network analytics, in-network caching, innetwork security, and in-network coordination. There are also technology specific applications of in-network computing in the scopes of cloud computing, edge computing, 5G/6G, and NFV. In this survey, the state of the art, in the framework of the proposed categorization, is reviewed. Furthermore, comparisons are provided in terms of a set of proposed criteria which assess the methods from the aspects of methodology, main results, as well as application-specific criteria. Finally, we discuss lessons learned and highlight some potential research directions.

In multi-tenant systems, the CPU overhead of distributed file systems (DFSes) is increasingly a burden to application performance. CPU and memory interference cause degraded and unstable application and storage performance, in particular for operation latency. Recent client-local DFSes for persistent memory (PM) accelerate this trend. DFS offload to SmartNICs is a promising solution to these problems, but it is challenging to fit the complex demands of a DFS onto simple SmartNIC processors located across PCIe.We present LineFS, a SmartNIC-offloaded, high-performance DFS with support for client-local PM. To fully leverage the SmartNIC architecture, we decompose DFS operations into execution stages that can be offloaded to a parallel datapath execution pipeline on the SmartNIC. LineFS offloads CPU-intensive DFS tasks, like replication, compression, data publication, index and consistency management to a Smart-NIC. We implement LineFS on the Mellanox BlueField Smart-NIC and compare it to Assise, a state-of-the-art PM DFS. LineFS improves latency in LevelDB up to 80% and throughput in Filebench up to 79%, while providing extended DFS availability during host system failures.
