Is storage orchestration a headache? Try infrastructure programming

Fri Sep 30 | 1:30pm

Abstract

Connecting remote storage to compute node requires adding and configuring software stacks for “storage over network” in the compute node. The storage software consumes significant number of cores on the compute node. The complexity and workload can be moved to Infrastructure Programming Unit (IPU) devices. IPU cores enable developing flexible software that can further be accelerated using hardware offloads for storage workloads. The session will discuss target agnostic frameworks and storage use cases which may be easier to deliver with devices like IPU.

Learning Objectives

Understand how moving infrastructure orchestration to IPU simplifies host SW stack provisioning to end user
Understand the advantages of managing storage provisioning and features on IPU
Understand target agnostic frameworks for storage infrastructure programing
