Reordering of data for parallel processing

Abstract:

A network interface device, including: an ingress interface; a host platform interface to communicatively couple to a host platform; and a packet preprocessor including logic to: receive via the ingress interface a data sequence including a plurality of discrete data units; identify the data sequence as data for a parallel processing operation; reorder the discrete data units into a reordered data frame, the reordered data frame configured to order the discrete data units for consumption by the parallel operation; and send the reordered data to the host platform via the host platform interface.
