    <p>Hi Ke,</p>
    <p>You are totally right, registers are needed for most of the
      complex use cases. We are working on to add this support to our
      compiler soon; hopefully it will be done in a few weeks.</p>
    <p>If you want, I will inform you as soon as this feature is
      available.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Thanks for your mail.<br>

    <p>Best,<br>

                        Being a user space implementation<br>

                        support, however we<br>
                        will see soon high performance open source SW
                        switches, like OVS with<br>
                        P4 datapath (PISCES). In SIGCOMM we will see at
                        least three demos on<br>
                        that front, including PISCES (with paper in the

                        demos featuring P4 with DPDK targets.<br>

                        Do you happen to know if the source for any of

                        <br>
                        I found the PISCES repos on github, but they
                        seem to distribute a demo as a<br>
                        collection of vagrant VMs, and it seems one
                        would need to extract the pieces<br>
                        manually to run them on bare metal.<br>
