The document discusses requirements for a proof-of-concept (POC) involving a smart network interface card (NIC) and computational storage solutions. It proposes using an FPGA, network processor, and CPU module connected via PCIe and Ethernet to demonstrate different POC configurations for the smart NIC and computational storage, including as a standalone device, bump-in-the-wire, and with a data accelerator. The POC aims to validate interfaces and protocols, evaluate performance, and develop software models while exploring challenges of chiplet integration and business aspects of collaboration.
