| Abstract(in English) | The size of ether net frames is becoming larger and larger due to the utilization of Ethernet Jumbo Frame option, especially in closed network environment such as data center networks. Increasing frame size would cause the large overhead for checksum calculation in TCP/IP protocol processing, that increase the CPU load. In this report we propose the scheme for decreasing CPU load and improving data transmission throughput by offload-ing checksum calculation to Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Our scheme consists of the following two methods: packet queueing method to improve the packet transmission throughput between CPU and GPU, and the packet processing method exploiting the advantage of GPU's multiprocessor architecture. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme by simple experiments using the user-land implementation and confirm that the proposed scheme can improve the TCP data transmission throughput by 13%, that is almost the same as the case when the checksum calculation is canceled. |
