Offloaded data processing for named based data transmissions

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon which when executed by a processor operatively coupled to the memory is configured to perform:

• identifying an accelerator of a plurality of accelerators on which to configure an offloaded named data network (NDN) forwarding daemon (NFD) module based on a configuration table indicating a current configuration of the plurality of accelerators;
• configuring the offloaded NFD module on the identified accelerator;
• receiving an interest packet comprising a workload request, the interest packet configured according to an NDN protocol;
• determining that the offloaded NED module is configured to perform the workload request using the identified accelerator based on the configuration table;
• and
• offloading, via an application programming interface, the workload request to the offloaded NFD module to perform the workload request using the identified accelerator.

A system comprising:

• means to identify an accelerator of a plurality of accelerators on which to configure an offloaded NFD module based on a configuration table indicating a current configuration of the plurality of accelerators;
• means to configure the offloaded NFD module on the identified accelerator;
• means to receive an interest packet including a workload request, the interest packet configured according to an NDN protocol;
• means to determine that the offloaded NFD module is configured to perform the workload request using the identified accelerator based on the configuration table;
• and
• means to offload, via an application programming interface, the workload request to the offloaded NFD module to perform the workload request using the identified accelerator.
