@poleguy @elizayer @hbons much of eBPF is used for managing network traffic. Many high end NICs have onboard fpgas. Being able to unify the code (eBPF in low end, fpga in high end) seemed interesting.

@dpp @elizayer @hbons Thanks for the responses. It's not clear to me that general purpose eBPF translation into FPGA code is a valuable route. It seems to be optimizing for ease of development while at the same time trying to hit high performance (or else, why the FPGA?). I understand you to be mostly exploring here, correct? It doesn't seem you actually got to synthesis or performance measurement. The only need for eBPF in the first place would be to run user code in the kernal, right?
