We have been watching the recent process of Solarflare=E2=80=99s net/sfc upstreaming and we decided it would be too agg= ressive for us to get in on 17.02. Rather than be the last in queue for 17.02, we would prefer to be one of the first in the queue for 17.05. This post is our statement of that intent. Arkville is a product from Atomic Rules which is a combination of hardware and software. In the DPDK community, the easy way to describe Arkville is that it is a line-rate agnostic FPGA-based NIC that does include any specific MAC. Arkville is unique in that the design process worked backward from the DPDK API/ABI to allow us to design RTL DPDK-aware data movers. Arkville=E2=80=99s customers are the small and brave set of users that dema= nd an FPGA exist between their MAC ports and their host. A link to a slide deck and product preview shown last month at SC16 is at the end of this post. Although we=E2=80=99ve done substantial testing; we are just now setting up= a proper DTS environment. Our first course of business is to add two 10 GbE ports and make Arkville look like a Fortville X710-DA2. This is strange for us because we started out with four 100 GbE ports, and not much else to talk to! We are eager to work with merchant 100 GbE ASIC NICs to help bring DTS into the 100 GbE realm. But 100 GbE aside, as soon as we see our net/ark PMD playing nice in DTS with a Fortville, and the 17.05 aperture opens; we will commence the patch submission process. Thanks all who have helped us get this far so soon. Anyone needing additional details that aren=E2=80=99t DPDK community wide, please contact = me directly.
