Simple overview:

  • NFU server -- "adjacent" to IBP depot.
  • NFU Op -- lightweight program, written in C, or Java, depending on server.
  • NFU client -- launches nfuOps and exchanges data with it.
    • Two types of data exchange:

1. variable exchange -- data passed directly between NFU Client and NFU Op NFU_VAL_IN 2. IBP Cap handling NFU_IBP_RD, client sends an IBP Cap to server, NFU Op does not receive cap, but a pointer to a mmap of the cap.
