Hardware-accelerated secure communication management

Computing systems, devices, and associated methods of managing secure communication using hardware accelerators are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving messages from a peer computing device via a computer network at a FPGA of a hardware accelerator and examining each of the received messages to determine whether the received messages contain application data. The method can then include forwarding a first subset of the received messages that do not contain application data to the processor for further processing and processing a second subset of the messages containing application data according to a security protocol without forwarding the second subset to the processor to reduce a consumption of bandwidth across the communications bridge. 本文公开了使用硬件加速器来管理安全通信的计算系统、设备和相关联的方法。在一个实施例中，一种方法包括在硬件加速器的FPGA处经由计算机网络从对等计算设备接收消息，并检查所接收的消息中的每一个以确定所接收的消息是否包含应用数据。该方法然后可以包括将不包含应用数据的所接收的消息的第一子集转发到处理器，以用于进一步处理，并且根据安全协议来处理包含应用数据的消息的第二子集，而不将第二子集转发到处理器，以减少通信桥上的带宽的消耗。
