Complex Parsing for In-Network Acceleration of High-Energy Physics Experiments
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper describes a novel application and evaluation of programmable networking in High-Energy Physics (HEP): a complete parser for the custom packet format used by Fermilab’s DUNE experiment. Notably, this parser is implemented on a Tofino programmable network switch and evaluated on the FABRIC testbed by using network traffic generated by the ICEBERG DUNE prototype. The parsed network traffic consists of Jumbo Ethernet frames that contain digitizations of sensor readings from ICEBERG’s detector.
