2、e Infrastructure(or OPI)is an open-source effort within the Linux Foundation to develop a standard API for utilizing SmartNICs,DPUs and IPUs,and other coprocessors or processing elements.It will allow users to provision and orchestrate all devices in the same way,thus allowing them to handle many di

3、fferent devices,implement new devices,and change or replace devices without learning a new command structure.It will also allow manufacturers to create a standard API,deliver new or upgraded devices faster,and benefit from a large ecosystem.It makes learning curves for new devices shorter and implem
