Intel IPU and NVMe Initiator with SPDK - Introduction to Hardware Integration and Acceleration Framework

Explore a technical conference talk from SNIA SDC 2024 that delves into the integration of Infrastructure Processing Units (IPUs) with the Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK) Acceleration Framework. Learn how IPUs are transforming networked storage for cloud service providers by offloading network storage tasks and exposing NVMe PCI devices to the host. Discover the powerful combination of Intel's IPU hardware with SPDK Acceleration Framework, which enables simultaneous DMA operations between host/IPU while performing encryption/decryption and NVMe/TCP data digest calculations. Gain insights into practical examples demonstrating this integration, understand the optimal use cases for SPDK acceleration framework, and explore how hardware capabilities of IPU devices can be leveraged for enhanced storage performance. Through this presentation by Deb Chatterjee from Intel Corporation, master the implementation details of Intel IPU integration and comprehend the significant benefits of combining framework and IPU hardware capabilities for cloud service provider environments.
