DESCRIPTION:In the past 20 years\, the interconnect rate of networking dev
 ices doubled every 18 months\, whereas computing systems' doubled approxim
 ately every 24 months. This led to an increasing gap in the performance of
  networking and computing devices. In this talk I introduce a new computin
 g architecture\, dubbed NES\, which aims to bridge the performance gap bet
 ween networking and end-host computers. The architecture\, scaling from ch
 ip level\, through server level\, to datacentre level\, puts a networking-
 element at the core of computing devices. It treats data transactions betw
 een elements in the system as networking transactions. Consequently\, prop
 erties of transactions in the networking world can be applied\, such as pe
 rformance guarantees.\nNES enables multi-terabit computing in affordable h
 ardware\, allowing large VM appliances to scale to 10K's and 100K's of VMs
  per machine while enabling in hardware properties such as coherency\, per
 formance guarantees and isolation.\n
