Intel Data Direct I/O technology is a platform technology that improves the efficiency of I/O computing for data delivery and data consumption of I/O devices. With Intel DDIO, Intel server adapters and controllers communicate directly to the processor cache via system memory, reducing latency, increasing system I/O bandwidth and reducing power consumption. Single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) involves native (direct) sharing of a single I/O resource between multiple virtual machines. SR-IOV offers a mechanism by which a single root function (e.g. a single Ethernet port) can appear as multiple separate physical devices. Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP) technology leverages industry standard PCI SIG SR-IOV to efficiently split your physical Ethernet device into multiple virtual devices, providing Quality of Service by ensuring that each process is assigned to a virtual function and receives an appropriate proportion of bandwidth .
