IEEE Spectrum just published an article regarding new inter-core 
communications hardware developed by researchers at UNC funded by Intel:

http://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/processors/breaking-the-multicore-bottleneck

The article doesn't go into great detail, but suggests that the new 
hardware might be useful to accelerate network packet processing -- 
perhaps especially in FreeBSD, whose unique Netgraph drivers are 
already set up to handle packets in a similar fashion.

Could this be fodder for a future FreeBSD Foundation-sponsored coding effort?
