RENDEZVOUS TO ENABLE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18478531 titled 'RENDEZVOUS TO ENABLE CONGESTION MANAGEMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a network interface controller (NIC) that manages incast situations in a computing system by scheduling data retrieval based on congestion levels and multiple requests from remote computing systems.
- The NIC receives requests to send data from remote computing systems via a network.
- It identifies requests from multiple remote systems and determines the storage location of the data based on request descriptors.
- The NIC assesses congestion levels at the computing system and schedules data retrieval accordingly.
- Data is retrieved from the storage location through remote access.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in data centers, cloud computing environments, and distributed computing systems to optimize data retrieval and reduce congestion.
Problems Solved
1. Incast situations can lead to network congestion and performance degradation in computing systems. This technology helps manage incast situations efficiently. 2. Ensuring timely data retrieval from multiple remote systems can be challenging without proper scheduling mechanisms, which this NIC provides.
Benefits
1. Improved network performance by managing incast situations effectively. 2. Enhanced data retrieval efficiency from multiple remote systems. 3. Optimal resource utilization in computing systems.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing data retrieval in cloud computing environments Enhancing performance in data centers through efficient incast management
Possible Prior Art
Prior art in this area may include network congestion management techniques, data retrieval scheduling algorithms, and NIC designs that aim to improve network efficiency.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact overall system latency in a computing environment?
This technology can potentially reduce system latency by efficiently managing data retrieval and network congestion.
What are the scalability limitations of this NIC in handling a large number of requests from remote computing systems?
The scalability of this NIC in handling a high volume of requests may be a factor to consider in large-scale computing environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
A network interface controller (NIC) facilitating incast management at a computing system is provided. During operation, the NIC can receive, via a network, a request to send data from a remote computing system. The NIC can determine that the request is among a plurality of requests from a plurality of remote computing systems accessible via the network. Based on a descriptor in the request, the NIC can determine a storage location of the data at the remote computing system. The NIC can then determine a level of congestion associated with the plurality of requests at the computing system. The NIC can schedule a data retrieval in response to the request based on the level of congestion and with respect to the plurality of requests. The NIC can then retrieve the data from the storage location based on remote access.
