Abstract
A computing device having a host memory and a host processor for executing instructions out of the host memory; and a network interface card interfacing with the computing device are provided. When there is a cache hit for a read request, the network interface card processes the read request by obtaining data stored from one or both of the host memory and a storage device that the network interface card accesses without involving the host processor and when there are is a cache miss, then the read request is processed by the host processor.
