Panel: C-103: Panel on Optimizing SmartNIC Applications

Organizations routinely face the challenge of getting applications to run faster. One common problem is a slow network stack. Should enterprises replace the processor with a faster model? How can decision-makers tell if SmartNIC chips are state-of-the-art? Should they replace or upgrading the message-passing mechanism that starts up the SmartNIC and moves its results? These are all vital questions that affect application and network performance.

Attendees will learn:

Key reasons for network latency
How to evaluate SmartNICs based on current standards
How to overcome latency at the host level
What tools are available to predict performance gains from offloading
