Netronome has developed a domain-specific architecture (DSA) that allows customers to build accelerators for networking and storage applications in data center and edge computing markets. This delivers efficient and high-performance heterogeneous solutions when paired with multi-core processors. Netronome’s technology can be purchased as hardened IP blocks to build custom SoC silicon devices, as SoC devices, SmartNICs or Smart Edge platforms and related software.

The 2.2 edition of the Netdev conference took place in Seoul, South Korea, in early November. The previous edition was covered by Nic on this blog, but he is too busy offloading JITted programs right now, so I will steal the spotlight this time around.
At SDN NFV World Congress in The Hague I was asked a very interesting question. An engineer from Corning was walking the exhibition floor looking for people to connect with on a business or technical level and he was having a hard time. (For those who don’t know, Corning makes more than the glass used on our Smart phones.
The promise of NFV has always been that large, powerful, network-centric applications can be moved from purpose-built appliances and onto commodity servers.
