I think it's great for some pieces of the puzzle:

- VPN nodes: Encryption acceleration
- Storage: Compression acceleration
It's sad they stopped making PCIe cards, and the older PCIe cards aren't compatible with the new drivers and "hardware revision". You could combine AMD processors with Intel QAT acceleration.
- wbl 3y agoTraversing the PCI bus and waiting for interrupt handling on completion add costs. What you really want is to shove the encyption to the NIC so the data comes out of main memory and never returns.
- tecleandor 3y agoYou could probably do that with one of those DPU/SmartNICs, like the AMD Pensando or the Mellanox ConnectX
