Session was delayed until 3:40 and so we had only slightly less than 2 hours. Skipped High level requirements to go over 2 presentations:

1. ODP overview and how it relates to g-API from ODP team perspective.
2. Keith’s updated DPDK perspective g-API presentation

We had presentation, some comments and questions in discussion afterwards.

It was agreed that the only way forward was to produce prototypes examining these sorts of options. It was also suggested that the DPDK and ODP teams really need to directly discuss and explore convergence in general.

Bob confirmed the ODP is adding better DPDK support in ODP and will likewise produce some prototype/POCs for assessment of the project. This can be considered part of the Implementation phase where proposals are presented for meeting the requirements of DPACC and the group can evaluate and go from there.

Keith suggested the team focuses on adding the missing parts to DPDK to enable the ODP/SoC vendors, rather than working with DPDK as the SDK to ODP. In this way, dpacc needs a port of DPDK to an ARM SoC platform without effecting ARM/SoC performance.Using the ODP PMD layer will allow the SoC vendors to keep their IP private and still produce an open source solution.
