The Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK) provides a set of tools and libraries for writing high performance, scalable, user-mode storage applications.
The adoption of NVM Express® SSDs in the data center is unleashing performance that was unprecedented just a few years ago. Since the inception of the SPDK project, the community has demonstrated that it’s possible to build systems capable of tens of millions of IOPS (I/O operations per second) using commodity hardware. Over the last couple of years, we have demonstrated systems capable of over 10 million IOPS (using a single CPU core!), but now we’re ready to significantly advance the state of the art. Yes, 80 Million IOPS.
Continue...We’re excited to announce support for NVMe over vfio-user, a technology that allows SPDK to present fully emulated NVMe devices into virtual machines. Virtual machines can leverage their existing NVMe drivers to communicate with the devices and data is transferred efficiently to or from SPDK using shared memory. In other words, just like vhost-user but able to emulate NVMe devices instead of virtio-blk or virtio-scsi devices.
