#119: Squeezing Compression into SPDK

Last year at SDC we reviewed the integration of crypto which made use of DPDK’s existing variety of drivers to usher in the capability. This year we are expanding our use of DPDK with the addition of a compression! This talk will outline the overall architecture of the compression module and explain in detail how we are managing the layout of the device and leveraging the Persistent Memory Development Kit to store metadata in super-fast persistent memory. Learning Objectives: 1) Understand new SPDK compression feature; 2) Understand the value of SPDK in general; 3) Learn about the SPDK Community.
