Abstract
Methods and systems for operating an I/O system are disclosed. Embodiments of the present technology may include a method that involves receiving data at a NIC, caching the data at the NIC, generating a meta-identifier (meta-ID) for the data, writing the data to a host via a PCIe interface, providing the meta-ID to the host, receiving a request for a service at the NIC from the host, the request including the meta-ID, accessing the cached data in the NIC using the meta-ID, and performing the service on the cached data that was accessed in the NIC using the meta-ID.
