However, existing RDMA congestion control schemes fail to address instantaneous large queue build-up or bandwidth under-utilization associated with frequent traffic bursty. In this paper, we argue that traffic uncertainty is the essential reason that constrains data center congestion control from simultaneously achieving high throughput and deterministic latency. Since aggregated flows within the same rack are relatively long-lived, we propose HierCC, which aggregates flows destined to the same IP in a rack and hierarchically controls the rate of flows. The rate of aggregate flows between racks is controlled by a credit-based congestion control mechanism. Then the bandwidth obtained by an aggregate flow in a rack is allocated to the corresponding individual flows from that rack promptly and accurately. We evaluate HierCC using SystemC and large-scale NS3 simulations. Results indicate that HierCC can significantly mitigate buffer usage and reduce the 99th percentile FCT by up to 20% and 40% compared with HPCC and DCQCN under a realistic workload, respectively.","PeriodicalId":291942,"journal":{"name":"5th Asia-Pacific Workshop on Networking (APNet 2021)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132790393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Qiu, Weitao Pan, Jiajun Li, Jinjian Huang","doi":"10.1145/3469393.3469399","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3469393.3469399","url":null,"abstract":"Programmable switches and SmartNICs motivate the programmable network. ASIC is adopted in programmable switches to achieve high throughput, and FPGA-based SmartNIC is becoming increasingly popular. The programmable parser is a key element in programmable switches and SmartNICs, which can identify the protocol types and extract the relevant fields. The programmable parser for the next generation programmable switches and SmartNICs requires a significant improvement in PPAL (performance, power, area, and latency), which is quite challenging. According to the Ethernet roadmap, 800 Gbps and 1.6 Tbps are expected to be the future switch interface speeds after 2022, which leads to higher throughput of the parser. Meanwhile, the end of Dennard scaling and the slowdown of Moore’s Law result in limited power and area. Besides, the need for low-latency and low-jitter operations at the datacenter scale continues to grow. Aforementioned requirements on PPAL inspire us to propose HyperParser, a high-performance parser architecture for next generation programmable switches and FPGA-based SmartNICs. The key innovation of HyperParser is the adoption of the butterfly network, which is widely used in cryptographic circuits. HyperParser supports ASIC and FPGA implementations, with low and deterministic latency. The PPAL of the ASIC implementation are 3.2-6.8 Tbps, 0.55 W, 2M gates, and 11.7 ns, and the PPAL of the FPGA implementation are 1.3-2.8 Tbps, 16.2 W, 43K LUTs, and 40 ns. The source code of HyperParser has been released on Github.","PeriodicalId":291942,"journal":{"name":"5th Asia-Pacific Workshop on Networking (APNet 2021)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129468325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
