Network and edge acceleration tile (NEXT) architecture

Examples described herein include a system including a processing unit package including at least one core and at least one load transfer processing device communicatively coupled inline between the at least one core and a network interface controller, the at least one load transfer processing device configurable to perform packet processing. In some examples, the at least one load transfer processing device allows mapping packet processing pipeline stages of a networking application between software running on the at least one core and the at least one load transfer processing device, to allow flexible entry, exit and re-entry points between the at least one core and the at least one load transfer processing device. 本文描述的示例包括一种系统，该系统包括：处理单元封装，包括：至少一个核心以及内联地通信耦合在该至少一个核心和网络接口控制器之间的至少一个负载转移处理设备，该至少一个负载转移处理设备可配置来执行封包处理。在一些示例中，该至少一个负载转移处理设备允许在运行于该至少一个核心和该至少一个负载转移处理设备上的软件之间映射联网应用的封包处理管线阶段，以允许该至少一个核心和该至少一个负载转移处理设备之间的灵活的进入点、退出点和再进入点。
