SDXI is an emerging standard for a memory data movement and acceleration interface.  NVMe is an industry leading storage access protocol.   Memory transfers are integral to storage access, including NVMe.  Data is transferred by DMA from host memory to device memory or from device memory to host memory.  With SDXI as the data mover, data movement is standardized and new transformation (compute) capabilities are enabled.  

Transparent memory data movement within  and across storage nodes  remains an active area of optimization for NVM subsystems. Leveraging SDXI as an industry standard technology within and across storage nodes for memory data movement and transformation is prudent and necessary for storage OEMs.

The SNIA SDXI + CS subgroup will present standardizing data movement within NVMe, leveraging SDXI transformations to manipulate data in-flight, and an example flow for transparent data movement across storage nodes.
