Problem
Modern data centers and telecommunication networks face increasing demands on computing resources due to extensive network processing. Offloading network processing to SmartNICs is challenging because existing solutions are difficult to use and not well-suited for dynamic, cloud-native environments.
Solution
Axbryd provides a framework that enables transparent offloading of eBPF programs to hardware network accelerators, specifically SmartNICs. Their hXDP technology implements Linux's eXpress Data Path (XDP) in the NIC data plane, allowing unmodified eBPF programs to run on specialized hardware. This approach simplifies the integration of SmartNICs, reduces resource consumption in data centers, and improves network processing efficiency. Axbryd's technology automatically generates workload-tailored software/hardware accelerators, targeting both ASIC and FPGA platforms.
Target Audience
Axbryd targets network technology vendors, and operators of data centers and telecommunication networks seeking to improve network processing efficiency and reduce resource consumption.
