The session provides an update to on the DPACC project within the OPNFV with a brief discussion on APIs and implementation progress. This session will review the API definition progress and follow up with a demo highlighting a common application as the vNF running on top of the DPACC defined layers. The demo will highlight the use of both hardware and software acceleration utilizing the DPACC defined acceleration layers. The demonstrationIt will highlight the progress in optimizing performance and latency characteristics of a platform to realize the vision of NFV while meeting stringent requirements, particularly for certain workloads, required by carriers.
