SpliDT: Partitioned Decision Trees for Scalable Stateful Inference at Line Rate || P4 Developer Day
Machine learning is increasingly used in programmable data planes, such as switches and smartNICs, to enable real-time traffic analysis and security monitoring at line rate. Decision trees (DTs) are particularly well-suited for these tasks due to their interpretability and compatibility with the Reconfigurable Match-Action Table (RMT) architecture. However, current DT implementations require collecting all features upfront, which limits scalability and accuracy due to constrained data plane reso

Gigaflow: Pipeline-Aware Sub-Traversal Caching for Modern SmartNICs – P4 – Language Consortium
Figure 1: (a) A traversal is a complete sequence of table lookups through the vSwitch pipeline that generates a Megaflow rule. (b) A sub-traversal is a subset of these lookups within a traversal, capturing smaller, reusable segments shared across multiple flows.
