Specifically it was on the Gx-36 (36 Tiles) PCIe card. Their team is able to directly take their Host DPDK apps (NFV modules and tunnels generators) and reuse them on the TileNcore-36 PCIe card 'as-is', Allowing them to build their system with much economical and lower power host CPU (Atom 330). we are currently completing similar port for Cavium's OCTEON -II. And Yergen is right, we had to resolve many intriguing technical issues ;-) -irfan VP Eng Paxym Inc. www.paxym.com On Fri, Jul 4, 2014 at 4:25 PM, Yerden Zhumabekov wrote: > Intel DPDK is intentionally being developed to bring support of packet > processing > to Intel processors.
