Application Device Queues (ADQ) for Predictability at Scale

As modern data centers scale a key challenge is to provide scalable predictable application-level performance. ADQ technology improves performance scalability and predictability by dedicating queues to key workloads delivering predictable high performance through dramatically reduced jitter.

Increasing the predictability of application response times by lowering jitter enables more compute servers to be assigned to a task and can allow more users to access the system providing a better end-user experience. Even applications that are not large scale can benefit from higher consistency enabling them to meet service-level agreements (SLAs) more easily.

ADQ enables application-specific data steering signaling and rate limiting using an optimized application thread to device data path. This ability to dedicate queues and shape network traffic not only increases performance it reduces latency and improves throughput.

Improve Packet Processing Efficiency with Dynamic Device Personalization (DDP)

DDP customizable packet filtering along with enhanced DPDK support advanced packet forwarding and highly-efficient packet processing for both Cloud and NFV workloads.

DDP support was first introduced on the Intel Ethernet 700 Series with a few protocols that could be added to the default set defined in the firmware. The Intel Ethernet 800 Series firmware loads an enhanced DDP profile with many workload-specific protocols at driver initialization for greater flexibility. When multiple 800 Series adapters are present in a system the pipeline on each adapter can be programmed independently with a different DDP profile.
