Query: Dagger: Towards Efficient RPCs in Cloud Microservices with Near-Memory
  Reconfigurable NICs   Cloud applications are increasingly relying on hundreds of loosely-coupled
microservices to complete user requests that meet an applications end-to-end
QoS requirements. Communication time between services accounts for a large
fraction of the end-to-end latency and can introduce performance
unpredictability and QoS violations. This work presents our early work on
Dagger, a hardware acceleration platform for networking, designed specifically
with the unique qualities of microservices in mind. The Dagger architecture
relies on an FPGA-based NIC, closely coupled with the processor over a
configurable memory interconnect, designed to offload and accelerate RPC
stacks. Unlike the traditional cloud systems that use PCIe links as the NIC I/O
interface, we leverage memory-interconnected FPGAs as networking devices to
provide the efficiency, transparency, and programmability needed for
fine-grained microservices. We show that this considerably improves CPU
utilization and performance for cloud RPCs.
