4 Intel(R) QuickAssist (QAT) Compression Poll Mode Driver
5 =======================================================
7 The QAT compression PMD provides poll mode compression & decompression driver
8 support for the following hardware accelerator devices:
10 * ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x``
11 * ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx``
17 QAT compression PMD has support for:
19 Compression/Decompression algorithm:
33 * CRC32, Adler and combined checksum
38 * Compressdev level 0, no compression, is not supported.
39 * Dynamic Huffman encoding is not yet supported.
40 * Queue pairs are not thread-safe (that is, within a single queue pair, RX and TX from different lcores is not supported).
41 * No BSD support as BSD QAT kernel driver not available.
47 The QAT compression PMD is built by default with a standard DPDK build.
49 It depends on a QAT kernel driver, see :ref:`building_qat`.
