Intel QuickAssist Technology also supports compression along with crypto.= =C2=A0 Last weekend, there is a proposed project to Intel Dev Mesh - "A VPP= plugin utilizing Intel QucikAssist Technology to perform hardware assisted= compression operations" https://devmesh.intel.com/projects/a-vpp-plugin-utilizing-intel-quickassist= -technology-to-perform-hardware-assisted-compression-operation Do we need a new PMD driver for compression or should we modify the exiting= crypto/qat driver to also support compression?=C2=A0=20 The Intel QAT driver should be present in any Linux kernel greater than ver= sion 4.4 I am trying to put the pieces together and hitting a roadblock. I am also f= iguring how the PMD driver is interacting with the Intel QAT driver at the = code level. Any pointer on how to move forward is greatly appreciated. Please also let me know if I should modify the proposed project. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Anthony.
