[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] At present, in RDMA networks, network data exchange needs to rely on the CPU to perform data processing, resulting in poor efficiency of network data exchange. To this end, in some embodiments of the present application: the processor can respond to the data transmission request initiated by the application, extract the original data required to be transmitted from the memory; pass the original data to the network card of the local machine; in the network card, the original data is accelerated according to the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data to obtain processed data; and the processed data is sent to the communication destination using the network card. Accordingly, in an embodiment of the present application, the data processing work that originally needs to be performed by the processor can be offloaded to the network card of the local machine. In this way, the required processing and calculation of the data can be implemented during the network transmission process, thereby unloading the corresponding work overhead on the processor, improving the utilization rate of the processor, and then reducing the transmission delay caused by data processing, and realizing accelerated transmission.

[0025] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a data transmission system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the system may include: a first communication terminal 10 and a second communication terminal 20, wherein the first communication terminal 10 includes a first processor 11 and a first network card 12, and the second communication terminal 20 includes a second processor 21 and a second network card 22.

[0027] Based on this, the first processor 11 can be used to respond to a data transmission request initiated by an application, extract the original data to be transmitted from the memory, and the data transmission request includes acceleration instruction information; and transmit the original data and the acceleration instruction information to the first network card 12;

[0028] The first network card 12 can be used to accelerate the original data according to the acceleration instruction information to obtain processed data; and send the processed data to the second network card 22;

[0029] The second network card 22 can be used to accelerate the processed data and then write it into the memory of the second communication terminal 20 .

[0030] In the above data transmission process, the first communication terminal 10 acts as a sending terminal and the second communication terminal 20 acts as a receiving terminal. The application can be any distributed application in the RDMA network. The data transmission solution provided in this embodiment can be applied to various application scenarios corresponding to the RDMA network, such as cloud computing scenarios, etc. This embodiment does not limit the application scenarios. In addition, this embodiment does not limit the physical implementation form of the first communication terminal 10 and the second communication terminal 20. For example, in a cloud computing scenario, the first communication terminal 10 and the second communication terminal 20 in this embodiment can be computing nodes, cloud servers, etc. in the cloud network.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 , the process of the application can be distributed on the first communication terminal 10 and the second communication terminal 20. In this embodiment, at the application layer, the application can initiate a data transmission request, so that the first processor 11 can extract the original data to be transmitted from the memory, and pass the original data to the first network card 12 in the form of message. Among them, the original data is relative to the processed data in the following text, and this description does not limit the state of the data. The original data can be the initial data generated by the application, and of course it can also be the data generated after some processing and calculation by the first processor 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, acceleration operators can be deployed in the first network card 12 and the second network card 22, and the acceleration operators are used to perform acceleration processing. For the first network card 12, after receiving the original data transmitted by the first processor 11, the acceleration operator deployed thereon can be used to accelerate the processing of the original data. Among them, in this embodiment, the acceleration operator can be deployed on the first network card 12 on demand to support the acceleration requirements of different application scenarios. In addition, the type of acceleration operator deployed on the first network card 12 can be one or more. Acceleration operators may include but are not limited to encryption and decryption operators, video encoding and decoding operators, packet detection operators, etc.

[0033] Before accelerating the processing of the original data, in this embodiment, the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data can be determined. The acceleration instruction information includes processing actions and action parameters; the processing actions may include one or more of encryption and decryption, video encoding / decoding, and packet detection. For example, it can be specified in the acceleration instruction information that the video encoding action is first performed on the original data, and then the encryption action is performed on the encoded data. Preferably, the processing actions in the acceleration instruction information can select those processing actions that do not need to be returned to the memory for subsequent processing, which can reduce the round-trip copying of data between the network card and the processor, and thus, a better hardware acceleration effect can be obtained.

[0034] In this embodiment, the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data can be configured in the data transmission request by the application program, so that the first processor 11 can parse the acceleration instruction information from the data transmission request and send the acceleration instruction information to the network card. Figure 2 A logical diagram of an exemplary transmission scheme provided for an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 , the acceleration instruction information can be used as an input of the first network card 12, and the original data can also be used as another input of the first network card 12. On this basis, the first network card 12 can accelerate the original data according to the acceleration instruction information to obtain processed data; and send the processed data to the second network card 22. Among them, the first network card 12 can accelerate the original data in units of the aforementioned message. Figure 2 The application can also configure the communication address information (such as the source memory address, the target memory address, the data length, etc. in the figure) to the data transmission request, which can be used as another input of the first network card 12. In addition, if the acceleration operator of the first network card 12 only needs other metadata provided by the application, the first processor 11 can also put these metadata in the cache corresponding to the first network card 12 for the first network card 12 to use.

[0035] In summary, in this embodiment, the first network card 12 can call the acceleration operator deployed thereon to execute the processing action specified in the acceleration instruction information, and one or more acceleration operators deployed on the first network card 12 can cooperate with each other to complete the accelerated processing of the original data and generate processed data. Among them, the acceleration operator deployed on the first network card 12 can be located on the network transmission channel, that is, the accelerated processing process of the original data and the network transmission process are coupled with each other. In this way, after completing the accelerated processing, the first network card 12 can send the processed data to the second network card 22 on the second communication terminal 20.

[0036] Figure 2 A logical diagram of an exemplary transmission scheme provided for an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 2, for the first network card 12, in the process of sending the processed data to the second network card 22, if the length of the processed data exceeds the preset standard, the processed data can be packetized to generate at least one network data packet, and the at least one network data packet is sent to the second network card 22. A preferred packetization scheme may be: based on the data granularity agreed upon by the first communication terminal 10 and the second communication terminal 20, the processed data is packetized. For example, if the data granularity agreed upon by the first communication terminal 10 and the second communication terminal 20 is a data block, then in the process of packetization, an integer number of data blocks can be encapsulated in a single network data packet, that is, the data blocks are not destroyed, so that different network data packets are independent of each other. Based on the above, the first network card 12 can process the original data in units of messages, which ensures that the first network card 12 can obtain the full picture of the original data, and therefore, the packetization work can be completed more accurately and reasonably from a global perspective.

[0037] In the case where the first communication terminal 10 and the second communication terminal 20 have not agreed on the acceleration instruction information provided by each for the application, the first network card 12 can also send the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data to the second network card 22. For example, the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data can be configured into the processed data to achieve transmission, which can ensure that the second network card 22 can smoothly determine what kind of acceleration processing it should perform on the processed data. Figure 2 , the acceleration instruction information of the original data (corresponding to Figure 2 Action and parameters 1…N in the original data) are configured into at least one network data packet, where the acceleration instruction information is used to prompt the second communication terminal 20 of the processing operation that has been performed on the data in the network data packet. Optionally, the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data can be configured in the packet header of the network data packet. Of course, the configuration position of the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data in the network data packet is not limited to this. In the case where the first communication terminal 10 and the second communication terminal 20 have agreed on the acceleration instruction information provided by each for the application, the first network card 12 does not need to send the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data to the second network card 22. The second network card 22 can use the default acceleration instruction information to perform acceleration processing as agreed. That is to say, in an embodiment of the present application, the first network card 12 can provide the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data to the second network card 22 as an option.

[0038] In addition, as mentioned above, the first network card 12 can process the original data in units of messages. Based on this, the first network card 12 can configure a message identifier for the processed data corresponding to the original data. Following the above-mentioned packet sending method, the first network card 12 can configure a packet identifier for at least one network data packet. The first network card 12 can also configure destination address information such as destination memory address and destination memory offset for the processed data. Based on this, in this embodiment, the first network card 12 can generate packet attribute information for at least one network data packet, for example, refer to Figure 2 , the packet attribute information of a single network data packet may include one or more information including a message identifier, a corresponding packet identifier, a destination memory address, and a destination memory offset. In this way, the packet attribute information is used to prompt the destination communication terminal with one or more information including the identification information of the network data packet, the relationship information with other network data packets, and the destination address information. Among them, the message identifier and the packet identifier can be used to prompt the relationship between network data packets, and each network data packet with the same message identifier belongs to the same data transmission request of the application. The first network card 12 can configure the packet attribute information into the network data packet to pass the packet attribute information to the second network card 22. Optionally, the packet attribute information can be configured in the packet header of the network data packet, or it can be configured as a load in the data field of the network data packet. Of course, the configuration position of the packet attribute information in the network data packet is not limited to this.

[0039] For the second network card 22 , after receiving the processed data provided by the first network card 12 , the processed data can be accelerated to generate target data, and the target data can be written into the memory of the second communication terminal 20 .

[0040] In the process of accelerating the processing of the processed data, the second network card 22 can determine the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the received processed data, and can accelerate the processed data according to the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the processed data. In the case where the first network card 12 has provided the second network card 22 with the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data, the second network card 22 can determine the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the processed data according to the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data and the corresponding relationship of the processing instructions agreed with the first communication terminal 10. In the case where the first communication terminal 10 and the second communication terminal 20 have agreed on the acceleration instruction information provided by each for the application, the second network card 22 can determine the default acceleration instruction information as the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the processed data according to the agreement.

[0041] Following the situation in which the first network card 12 transmits the processed data in the manner of packet transmission mentioned above, the second network card 22 can accelerate the processing of the processed data using the network data packet as the processing unit. As mentioned above, at least one network data packet obtained through the packet processing of the first network card 12 is independent of each other. In this way, even if the network data packet received by the second network card 22 is out of order, it will not affect the accelerated processing progress of the second network card 22. Therefore, the second network card 22 can process multiple network data packets in parallel, which can save more acceleration processing time, thereby further improving the acceleration effect of the second network card 22 on data transmission. In this packet transmission mode, taking the target data packet received by the second network card 22 as an example, the second network card 22 can determine the target instruction information corresponding to the target data packet; according to the target instruction information, accelerate the target data packet to obtain the target data; and transmit the target data to the memory. The scheme for determining the target instruction information corresponding to the target data packet may be: parsing the acceleration instruction information contained in the target data packet, the acceleration instruction information contained in the target data packet is used to prompt other communication terminals to perform processing operations on the data in the target data packet; based on the parsed acceleration instruction information and the corresponding relationship of processing instructions agreed with other communication terminals, determining the target instruction information corresponding to the target data. The second network card 22 may also parse the packet attribute information contained in the target data packet, and obtain information such as the message identifier, the corresponding packet identifier, the destination memory address and the destination memory offset of the target data packet. In this way, the reference Figure 2 After the acceleration processing by the second network card 22, an exemplary data structure of the obtained destination data may be: destination memory address, destination memory offset and data, which enables the second network card 22 to accurately write the destination data into the memory of the second communication terminal 20.

[0042] At this point, the data transfer process initiated by the application is completed.

[0043] It is worth noting that the first communication terminal 10 and the second communication terminal 20 may assume the role of a sender or a receiver in different data transmission processes. Taking the first communication terminal 10 as an example, in addition to assuming the role of a sender in the above-mentioned data transmission process with the second communication terminal 20, the first communication terminal 10 also assumes the role of a receiver in other data processing processes. In this case, the first network card 12 can receive a target data packet sent by other communication terminals; determine the target instruction information corresponding to the target data packet; accelerate the target data packet according to the target instruction information to obtain the destination data; and pass the destination data to the memory. Among them, the scheme for determining the target instruction information corresponding to the target data packet can be: parsing the acceleration instruction information contained in the target data packet, the acceleration instruction information contained in the target data packet is used to prompt other communication terminals for the processing operations performed on the data in the target data packet; based on the parsed acceleration instruction information and the processing instruction correspondence agreed with other communication terminals, determine the target instruction information corresponding to the target data. The first network card 12 can also parse the packet attribute information contained in the target data packet, and obtain information such as the message identifier, the corresponding packet identifier, the destination memory address and the destination memory offset of the target data packet. In this way, the first network card 12 can accurately write the destination data into the memory of the first communication terminal 10 to achieve accelerated reception.

[0044] Accordingly, in this embodiment, the processor can extract the original data required to be transmitted from the memory in response to the data transmission request initiated by the application; pass the original data to the network card of the local machine; in the network card, the original data is accelerated according to the acceleration instruction information corresponding to the original data to obtain the processed data; and the processed data is sent to the communication destination using the network card. Accordingly, in the embodiment of the present application, the data processing work that originally needs to be performed by the processor can be unloaded to the network card of the local machine, so that the required processing and calculation of the data can be implemented during the network transmission process, thereby unloading the corresponding work overhead on the processor, improving the utilization rate of the processor, and then reducing the transmission delay caused by data processing, and realizing accelerated transmission. In addition, according to the different processing actions in the acceleration instruction information, transmission acceleration can be achieved from different aspects, such as reducing data communication and processing delays in the RPC processing process, increasing network bandwidth, etc., and conversely, the processing actions and processing parameters in the acceleration instruction information can be determined according to the required acceleration aspects, so as to achieve the desired acceleration effect.
