Technologies for network packet cache management

摘要

Technologies for identifying a cache line of a network packet for eviction from an on-processor cache of a network device communicatively coupled to a network controller. The network device is configured to determine whether a cache line of the cache corresponding to the network packet is to be evicted from the cache based on a determination that the network packet is not needed subsequent to processing the network packet, and provide an indication that the cache line is to be evicted from the cache based on an eviction policy received from the network controller.

主权项

1. A network device for identifying a network packet for eviction, the network device comprising:
a processor that includes a cache, wherein the cache comprises a plurality of cache lines; a network packet processing module to receive a network packet, store the network packet in a cache line of the cache of the processor, and process the network packet; and a cache management module to determine whether the network packet is required for subsequent processing and to indicate that the cache line corresponding to the network packet is to be evicted from the cache in response to a determination that the network packet is not required for subsequent processing.
