SNIA Developer Conference September 15-17, 2025 | Santa Clara, CA
Abstract
As applications continue to increase in complexity and users demand more from their workloads, dedicated accelerator chips are being deployed to assist or offload the main CPU. These new accelerators (xPUs) have multiple names such as SmartNIC, DPU, IPU, APU, NAPU. How are these different than GPU, TPU, CPU? How do they work? Where can they be deployed?
