Paper Title: Video Processing Secrets for NVMe

Paper Abstract: Video is a leading category of data content stored in solid state drives, and distributed across today's networks. While Video-on-Demand growth continues to be strong, the next frontier of growth will be delivering live video content, driving an industry need for economical and scalable real-time video encoding solutions. NVMe has emerged as the leading interface to control PCI Express (PCIe) solid state drives with high throughput and low latency. NVMe is also extensible, allowing NVMe to be suitable for controlling Computational Storage Processors (CSPs) - such as video processing - inside a PCIe device. This session will present a video processing solution that combines the performance and densities of System-on-Chip (SoC) encoding, with NVMe-based cloud infrastructure, to provide an economical, high quality, and scalable solution to deliver encoding at scale for live video streaming. The presentation will include details on how NVMe protocol was used to control video processors inside the PCIe device, along with scalability considerations using NVMe servers or NVMe-oF storage architectures.
