Storage Performance Development Kit
===================================
[SPDK on 01.org](https://01.org/spdk)
The Storage Performance Development Kit (SPDK) provides a set of tools
and libraries for writing high performance, scalable, user-mode storage
applications.
It achieves high performance by moving all of the necessary drivers into
userspace and operating in a polled mode instead of relying on interrupts,
which avoids kernel context switches and eliminates interrupt handling
overhead.
Prerequisites
=============
To build SPDK, some dependencies must be installed.
Fedora/CentOS:
- gcc
- libpciaccess-devel
- CUnit-devel
Ubuntu/Debian:
- gcc
- libpciaccess-dev
- make
- libcunit1-dev
Additionally, DPDK is required.
See [DPDK Quick Start](http://dpdk.org/doc/quick-start).
Building
========
Once the prerequisites are installed, run 'make' within the SPDK directory
to build the SPDK libraries and examples.
make DPDK_DIR=/path/to/dpdk
