Abstract

Technologies for managing a queue on a compute device are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, the queue is managed by a host fabric interface of the compute device. Queue operations such as enqueuing data onto the queue and dequeuing data from the queue may be requested by remote compute devices by sending queue operations which may be processed by the host fabric interface. The host fabric interface may, in some embodiments, fully manage the queue without any assistance from the processor of the compute device. In other embodiments, the processor of the compute device may be responsible for certain tasks, such as garbage collection.
