Software-Enabled Flash Capabilities and Demonstrations - Understanding Hardware Features and Implementation

Explore a 57-minute technical presentation from the Storage Developer Conference 2023 that delves into Software-Enabled Flash™ (SEF) technology and its revolutionary impact on cloud and enterprise storage applications. Discover how this Linux Foundation open source project combines specialized hardware with a host-based API and SDK to give developers unprecedented control over data placement, latency outcomes, and isolation. Learn about the SEF software and hardware stacks, including detailed demonstrations of hardware and software isolation, I/O weighted fair queueing, and copy offload capabilities running on pioneering SEF Unit hardware. Master the open source SEF technology stack's new features, understand how host software interfaces with the hardware components, and see practical applications of workload isolation and latency control. Get guidance on joining the project community through Technical Steering Committee meetings and membership opportunities. Presented by Scott Stetzer from KIOXIA America, this comprehensive session provides both theoretical understanding and practical demonstrations of this transformative storage technology.
