SUMMARY:P4 Developer Days – OpenDesc: Describing NIC-Host Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend this P4 Developer Day webinar on April 30 at 11 am ET/5 pm CET \nOpenDesc: Describing NIC-Host Interfaces\n\n\nAbstract\nModern NIC hardware is increasingly expressive\, yet host software remains shackled to static\, device-specific descriptors and ad-hoc glue layers. We present OpenDesc\, a framework that leverages P4 to define the interface between host and NIC. By treating software intent and hardware capabilities as negotiable P4 programs\, OpenDesc automatically compiles minimalist\, application-specific driver datapaths for metadata. This approach eliminates the “lowest common denominator” bottleneck\, enabling seamless metadata exchange and hardware-software co-design across heterogeneous NIC architectures. \nSpeaker\nSeyyidahmed is a systems researcher at imec. His research interests include the co-design of programmable hardware and high-performance networking stacks\, with a focus on improving the flexibility\, programmability\, and efficiency of modern networked systems. \n\n\nRegister to attend this virtual & free event
