Numerous Cloud Service Providers and enterprise customers alike are harnessing the power of an Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU) to securely accelerate infrastructure workloads- improving CPU utilization- and enabling datacenter innovations. As modern data centers scale- providing open-source infrastructure software combined with high performance network accelerators is critical for applications such as storage- HPC- AI training clusters- and developing microservice deployment models. Intel® IPU Adapter E2100 delivers the hardware assist for an open-sourced next-generation reliable transport protocol that is compatible with existing RDMA and NVME based application stacks and with widely deployed lossy Ethernet fabrics. The Intel® IPU Adapter demonstrates a robust commitment to open-source infrastructure software by promoting collaboration and innovation within the development community.
