Netronome has developed a domain-specific architecture (DSA) that allows customers to build accelerators for networking and storage applications in data center and edge computing markets. This delivers efficient and high-performance heterogeneous solutions when paired with multi-core processors. Netronome’s technology can be purchased as hardened IP blocks to build custom SoC silicon devices, as SoC devices, SmartNICs or Smart Edge platforms and related software.

According to a recent Jefferies article, the fourth wave of computing has started and it is being driven by the adoption of IoT with parallel processing as the solution. Tectonic shifts in computing have been caused by major forces dating back to the 1960s. With each shift, new solution providers have emerged as prominent suppliers.
I had the pleasure of attending the Future:Net event in Las Vegas last week. It was invigorating to see the experts in networking technologies come together, including many former colleagues from companies I have worked at in the past. The theme that evolved on the second day was network programmability, focusing on the technologies that are relevant in the server.
