"Enso: A Streaming Interface for NIC-Application Communication" https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2023/0...

We've been using the same API to communicate with our NICs since 1994. That API severely limits network throughput and latency. By simply changing the API (no new NIC) you can get 6x higher throughput in some apps and 43% lower latency.

Code runs on FPGA NIC only for now: https://github.com/crossroadsfpga/enso

Won USENIX OSDI best paper award and best artifact award.

This is the best systems paper of the year so far imo
