Background

With the continuous development of technology, especially the high-speed development of the internet and the mobile internet, network data traffic is larger and larger, protocol parsing and processing are more and more, and ports are more and more, so that requirements on hardware platforms capable of bearing the requirements are higher and higher. As the high-density calculation of X86, which is the main force carrying application processing, the main frequency of the CPU has reached the limit, and the CPU has been advancing toward the increase of the number of cores. The market naturally expects higher and higher densities of CPUs. The number of the high-end CPU cores in the current mainstream reaches 14-16; the next generation of CPU cores may support 18-20 or even more.

The current mainstream of the strong processor can support 14 cores; the next generation of the lineage processor can support more than 18 cores. Such a high-profile server, employing a dual CPU architecture, may have a throughput of up to 80G to 100G. However, the mainstream general server in the market stays in the era of 10G network, and even if the network card can be upgraded to 40GE by expanding, the capability of the existing CPU can not be fully exerted; in addition, in the aspect of matching and optimizing software and hardware, step mismatch frequently occurs. Because of the data interaction between the CPUs, the processing performance of the CPUs is virtually compromised. The same configuration is adopted in the industry, the CPU processes the network traffic respectively, and the two CPUs acquire the traffic from one network to process, and the performance of the CPU is 15-20% higher than that of the CPU in the network interface bandwidth.

How to make the next generation computing platform more nucleus, the network flow is larger, the software and hardware optimization is deeper, and the method becomes the problem that the future generation computing architecture needs to be considered.
