We're working on a white paper which should be available soon. In the meantime, there's more information on these technologies at: https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/communications/cache-monitoring-cache-allocation-technologies.html https://01.org/packet-processing/cache-monitoring-technology-memory-bandwidth-monitoring-cache-allocation-technology-code-and-data Tim > > -HK > ________________________________________ > From: dev <dev-bounces at dpdk.org> on behalf of O'Driscoll, Tim > <tim.odriscoll at intel.com> > Sent: Monday, November 30, 2015 9:50:58 PM > To: dev at dpdk.org > Subject: [dpdk-dev] 2.3 Roadmap > > As we're nearing the completion of the 2.2 release, I'd like to start a > discussion on plans for 2.3.
