Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (Intel DSA) is a feature of the upcoming Intel Xeon Scalable processors (codename “Sapphire Rapids”). Intel DSA provides a high-performance data copy and data transformation accelerator. The use of the accelerator frees the processor to execute other tasks instead of being busy copying data or transforming data.
This white paper provides a guidance about how to enable Intel DSA in UEFI in ThinkSystem™ servers and guidance on how to use Intel DSA in Linux operating systems. This paper is intended for IT specialists who want to use Intel DSA device for their own applications. Readers should have basic knowledge about Intel DSA and experience in compiling applications in Linux.
