The University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) has been awarded a $600,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070). The purpose of this 3-year award, effective October 1, 2024, is to develop a next-generation network framework called "Learned and Disaggregated In-Network Lookup Engines (LEDILE)." The research aims to fundamentally change the design and deployment of classic in-network lookup engines by replacing traditional hash functions with machine learning models and disaggregating lookup functions across heterogeneous devices. The project plans to investigate new techniques for in-network lookups, including perfect hashing and learned models, as well as develop the LEDILE framework and evaluate its applications. Successful outcomes from this project are expected to provide critical networking functions and services for emerging technologies like cloud, IoT, and edge computing.
