Protecting NVMe/TCP PDU Data at 400 Gbps Using Hardware Accelerators

Watch a technical conference presentation from SNIA SDC 2022 exploring how the Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK) community implements data digest protection for NVMe/TCP Protocol Data Units at high network throughputs. Learn about the SPDK acceleration framework's use of hardware accelerators like Intel® Data Streaming Accelerator (Intel® DSA) and the Intelligent Storage Acceleration Library (ISA-L) to efficiently handle data movement and transformation operations. Examine performance analysis and testing results comparing different workloads using ISA-L and Intel® DSA for data digest computation at network speeds up to 400 Gbps, demonstrating which scenarios benefit most from hardware acceleration. Delivered by Intel Cloud Software Engineer John Kariuki, gain insights into scaling high-performance NVMe/TCP target implementations while maintaining strong error detection capabilities.
