Intel(R) Data Direct I/O Technology (Intel(R) DDIO) is a feature introduced with the Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor E5 family. It has been around for several years and is available at least on all Xeon E5 processors. DDIO is part of the platform, so any DPDK version can take advantage of the feature. There are several papers and videos available on the Internet that can provide more details. Thanks, Jeff
