Software-based memory-to-memory data movement is common, but takes valuable cycles away from application performance. At the same time, offload DMA engines are vendor-specific and may lack capabilities around virtualization and user-space access. This talk will focus on how SDXI (Smart Data Acceleration Interface), a newly formed SNIA Technical Work Group, is working to bring an extensible, virtualizable, forward-compatible, memory to memory data movement and acceleration interface specification. As new memory technologies get adopted and memory fabrics expand the use of tiered memory, data mover acceleration and its uses will increase. This TWG will encourage adoption and extensions to this data mover interface.
