The data processing unit, or DPU, is a new class of programmable processor that enables servers to more efficiently move data, freeing up valuable CPU cycles and allowing services to be statefully ...

We are witnessing a sea change within the communications silicon industry. NPU (network processing unit) architectures are moving away from the monolithic, proprietary processing cores that have ...

Of course, if you don't have to apply a function to a lot of packets, then a network processor can adequately handle the packets as exceptions. Thus, the network-processing problem has broken into a ...
