Techniques to shape network traffic for server-based computational storage

At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed by circuitry at a network interface device at a computational storage server, cause the circuitry to:

• receive, from a compute device over a network link, a compute offload command that is arranged as a fused non-volatile memory command that includes first and second opcodes, the compute offload command to have a block-based compute descriptor that was constructed based on a compute offload request from a computing process hosted by a compute device;
• identify a class of service indicated in the block-based compute descriptor;
• and
• cause the compute offload command to be stored to a queue from among a plurality of queues maintained in a memory at the network interface device, the queue previously allocated to the class of service, wherein the block-based compute descriptor included in the compute offload command includes information to be used for execution of a block-based compute operation by compute circuitry at the computational storage server.

At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed by circuitry of a computing device cause the circuitry to:

• construct a block-based compute descriptor responsive to a compute offload request received from a computing process hosted by a host compute device, the block-based compute descriptor to include an indication of a class of service associated with the compute offload request;
• generate a compute offload command arranged as a fused non-volatile memory command that includes first and second opcodes;
• and
• cause the compute offload command to be sent over a network link to a computational storage server, wherein the indication of the class of service in the block-based compute descriptor is to cause a network interface device at the computational storage server to store the compute offload command to a queue allocated to the class of service, the queue to store the compute offload command prior to scheduling a block-based compute operation by compute circuitry at the computational storage server, the block-based compute operation to include use of non-volatile memory maintained at the computational storage server.

A system comprising:

• a block storage device to include non-volatile memory;
• compute circuitry;
• and
• a network interface device that includes circuitry and a memory arranged to maintain a plurality of queues, wherein the circuitry of the network interface device is to:
• receive, from a compute device over a network link, a compute offload command that is arranged as a fused non-volatile memory command that includes first and second opcodes, the compute offload command to have a block-based compute descriptor that was constructed based on a compute offload request from a computing process hosted by a compute device;
• identify a class of service indicated in the block-based compute descriptor;
• and
• store the compute offload command to a queue from among the plurality of queues, the queue previously allocated to the class of service, wherein the block-based compute descriptor included in the compute offload command includes information to be used for execution of a block-based compute operation by the compute circuitry, the block-based compute operation to be against virtual objects in the non-volatile memory of the block storage device.
