Exploiting 3D Memory for Accelerated In-Network Processing of Hash Joins in Distributed Databases

The computing potential of programmable switches with multi-Tbit/s throughput is of increasing interest to the research community and industry alike. Such systems have already been employed in a wide spectrum of applications, including statistics gathering, in-network consensus protocols, or application data caching. Despite their high throughput, most architectures for programmable switches have practical limitations, e.g., with regard to stateful operations.
