Minutes
Discussed the consolidated proposal as a work-in-progress to the Steering Committee.
Overall the SC had no objections to pursuing SmartNIC with the interested parties present.
Tomas Fredberg from Ericsson opened discussion - looking to software defined partitioning of a network. Chris Rossmith presented the attached slides.
Telecoms are looking for technologies which are standardised and interchangeable.
Maciek Konstantynowicz from Cisco discussed the opportunity for dataplane technologies such as VPP (FD.IO). VPP could reside solely on SmartNIC. Could support containers.
Cisco are interested in NVMe over IP/Ethernet rather than specialised InfiniBand hardware. Looking for performance optimised hardware at the network and PCIe level - standardised.
Cisco/Ericsson agree they have a very large overlap in requirements and can work collaboratively in the OpenSource ecosystem.
NXP presented products based on LX2160A - not as a solution but a review of evolving requirements.
Suggestion is to move forward as a voluntary project with voluntary engineers and see what interim work can be developed that may attract others later.
Recommend Cisco/Ericsson remain as advisers to ongoing development and join in with existing Linaro members.
