The SNIA Technical Council believes that it is important for storage developers to learn about the emerging technology of Data Processing Units (DPUs).  We have gathered a panel of leading DPU vendors to provide an overview and answer the following questions.

• What is a DPU?
• Why might storage developers want to adopt DPUs in their products or services?
• What tools and libraries do you provide for developers?
• Which parts are open source?
• What development languages are supported?

Following the panel presentations, we will open the floor to questions from the participants.  Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn more about DPUs!

The data center of today is almost fully software defined, from the software defined network (SDN) to virtualized and containerized computation to the software defined file system (SDFS).  But there’s one important part of the stack that’s not yet software defined:  flash storage itself.  It’s about time to enable flash storage to be software defined, allowing flash to be tailored to the specific needs of any application.  This session will center on what software defined flash capabilities are needed by storage developers and how software defined flash APIs could affect how storage applications are written and run in the future.

Security, unlike most technologies, is driven by changes to the threat landscape as well as the legal/regulatory responses. This BoF provides a forum to explore recent and anticipated developments. It may also serve as a forum to further explore details from the various SDC security and data protection sessions.

The SDXI TWG is working on a proposed standard for a memory to memory Data mover and acceleration interface.

SDXI TWG members are working to get its first version of the Smart Data Acceleration Interface Specification out for a public review.

Come join us as we reveal the makings of this specification and what makes it a key technology ingredient for system architecture.  Learn the salient features of this specification from key contributors and members in this live BoF and Q&A.
