Devices first started as tightly-coupled hardware and software solutions. In recent years, we’ve seen more devices running off-the-shelf software (like Linux). Is the Linux bridge efficient enough? Verplanke next reviews some of the I/O optimizations and architecture of the Xeon E5 2600 series platform.
