• Intel Lands Initial Preparations For DSA 3.0 Accelerators In Linux 7.0 Last year we began seeing Linux patches preparing the kernel for Intel Data Streaming Accelerator “DSA” 3.0 IP. • Finally with the Linux 7.0 kernel those patches in updated form have now been merged. • The Intel Data Streaming Accelerator helps offload data movement and transformation tasks from the CPU to the dedicated engine silicon found on recent Xeon CPUs. • The Intel Data Streaming Accelerator can provide high performance data copy and analytics acceleration with software adapted to make use of the engine. • Intel DSA 3.0 is their next-generation IP presumably to be found with Diamond Rapids processors. • The code merged for Linux 7.0 is a revised form of last year’s DSA 3.0 enablement patches.
