Join our latest project Currently we’re looking for an Senior Software Engineer to help us provide solutions on a project based in Herefordshire. This assignment will need to be completed by the end of August, with the option to work predominantly remote, needing to come on site when required. The task is to upgrade the network driver, along with corresponding patches to the linux kernel itself to support complete zero copy network receive. A typical packet reception in linux involves 2 copies of the data. The first is from the network device into a kernel-provisioned buffer. The second is from the kernel-provisioned buffer to a user-space buffer. The second copy has already been eliminated – this task is for the first one: direct reception into user-space visible buffers. This is the most significant bottleneck in performance on the receive side currently, once done, there should be throughput performance comparable to the transmit side. We are looking for engineers with specific zero-copy experience who can demonstrate previous projects of where this has been used. Zero copy Rx – Re-implement patch series around ZCTAC – Similar to express data path (XDP) If you have the relevant capability and are interested in pursuing this assignment, talk to our sales consultants today.
