Abstract
Technologies for an accelerator interface over Ethernet are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a network interface controller of a compute device may receive a data packet. If the network interface controller determines that the data packet should be pre-processed (e.g., decrypted) with a remote accelerator device, the network interface controller may encapsulate the data packet in an encapsulating network packet and send the encapsulating network packet to a remote accelerator device on a remote compute device. The remote accelerator device may pre-process the data packet (e.g., decrypt the data packet) and send it back to the network interface controller. The network interface controller may then send the pre-processed packet to a processor of the compute device.
