In some alternate universe, there's a Wendell talk show host with a live studio audience, and at the end of the show he gives away Xeons and other server gear to everyone.

I'd love to hear more about the actual architecture and perf details, like: is the core-to-qat bandwidth dedicated, or does it consume pcie or memory bandwidth? what's the latency hit on sending a block to qat, and thus what's the break-even block size vs. on-core processing? are there NUMA node considerations with which cores talk to which qats?

So this means Microsoft will be licensing accelerators soon?!?
Love how the overview was explained, seems like pretty cool tech, have to keep it in mind for the next firewall upgrade!

Integrating Intel Quick Assist Technology (QAT) into our systems would significantly boost performance in client VPN, low-level network intrusion detection, and homomorphic computing tasks. For instance, it could bolster encrypted malware, virus, and exploit detection on Linux servers, enabling efficient sinkholing or reflection of malicious traffic. Features like multi-layer encryption, zero-copy processing, content-addressable memory, and in-place detection packet aggregation could address performance and latency hurdles in secure traffic zones.

Hey, that's a lot of nice information. Could you make a video explaining DSA? (Data Streaming Accelerator)
Seems like all the 4th and 5th gen Xeon scalable CPU's have one, but I can't figure out what it does.

When I wanted to upgrade from my Atom C2758 based pfSense router to build a 10GB ethernet home network, I making sure the replacement had QAT as well, I was able to score a great deal on a Supermicro D-2146NT based system. I'm golden for years to come (with horsepower to spare.)

The real question is what hardware actually has qat..... It's like Carmen Sandiego without a catchy theme song or computer game or tv show: who knows? Problem with the atom having it was that it was usually, if not only, on appliance based hardware. The newest netgate appliance (4200) has a new atom, but it is an atom without qat, so not like it's something anyone can just have to tinker with. Well, not anymore. Intel really doesn't learn lessons. Keep everything nice and out of reach.

Hi Wendel! I wonder if I'm just thinking about it wrong, but I think it would be so cool if something like the QAT accelerator could be passed through to a vSwitch for a full, line-speed ASIC between VMs without taking up CPU resources.

Could you test the powerdraw? I have an old server and it draws 250W no matter what I'm doing, if anything, so I don't know if that's feasible.
In my case, I have an obsession with hyper-convergance in the mini homelab space. A very low power computer with accelerators and a core or two that has all the performance for when you need it (say, a heavily modded game server) in Proxmox is the dream. Preferably cheap, so I can litter my friends' houses with them.

Would QAT do anything for a high speed (10 GbE or more) WAN connection on OPNSense with some firewall rules and Suricata? I'd figure for DPI, QAT could be interesting. And would it do anything for VLAN routing?
Edit: Some C5000 and P5000 boards from Supermicro seem to have the QAT variants and SFP28, might be even more interesting than the Minisforum MS-01.

Opened genuinely wondering if I could get enhanced remote support for elderly people via some intel low level magic, I guess accelerators are cool

IT WORKS WITH ZFS???? Amazing

X86 is slowly morphing into the Cell phone HW methodology. Everything is becoming a HW accelerator.

Hey Wendell what about the PCIe Adapters like the 8950
I was wanting to setup a small overkill nas with 10 gb Quickassist and a video card for transcoding
Like a skylake hp z series box probably have to drop to 2.5 gb unfortunately with pcie limitations
Was also looking at a dell power edge dual Xeon system and tossing in my Xeon phi
Take it to the absolute limit for accelerators and co processors
|
I am not using any as I am finally getting a homelab set up. I do have 1 intel machine so I should check to see if it has QAT.

I've got a Tesla P40 that I don't use because the blower fan addition prodtrudes too much from the side. I've been thinking of taking a blower cooler from a device of the same generation that could mayyyybe cool it... IDK it's been bothering me. I'd like to play with LLMs with it.

Ive got a qotom box with a C3758 that has QAT.

Very cool technology. I wonder how long it'll take until we get a multitude of different ASICs built in to one CPU that are designated for assisting all kinds of different use cases. One for transparent data encryption. Another for facial recognition. Another for visual/audio upscaling ect. Kinda defeats the purpose of a CPU though...

Cherry Trail may have been the first Atom with QAT, but it was far from the first *Atom*.

These videos are so much better than they used to be. It feels so chill and close like you’re a good senior admin that cares to help the new guys. Thanks Wendell ❤
