AbstractThis project enhances international exploratory research by strategically deploying next-generation SmartNICs, specifically Data Processing Units (DPUs), at four existing international FABRIC sites, which builds upon FABRIC Across Borders (FAB). DPUs are an emerging technology that places programmable, high-performance processors directly on the network interface, which can accelerate data processing by orders of magnitude by offloading data-centric tasks like networking, storage, and security f
