Port AGP to Additional NIC Families

Develop implementations of the AI-aware GPU-native packet processing framework (AGP) for NIC families beyond the mlx5 driver targeted by the prototype.

Background

The AGP prototype targets the mlx5 driver and demonstrates GPU-native packet processing using the corresponding NIC interface. Supporting additional NIC families would test the portability and generality of AGP’s open DPDK-based approach across heterogeneous networking hardware. The paper explicitly identifies this porting effort as future work rather than reporting a completed implementation.

References

In our prototype, we targeted the mlx5 driver; porting to other NIC families is left as future work.
