Serverless DPDK – How SmartNIC resident DPDK Accelerates Packet Processing
Cloud architectures and business models are driving the need to ensure that all server compute resources have a revenue tie-in, heralding the march towards the serverless dataplane. This session presents a unique way to harness the power of DPDK to accelerate packet processing by pushing the data plane into a SmartNIC. We will discuss the motivation, benefits and challenges of implementing a DPDK based data plane running on the compute resources embedded in a SmartNIC.
