OCP Global Summit (San Jose, California)

October 15 - October 17

The 2024 OCP Global Summit takes place in San Jose, California, on October 15-17. The theme this year is “From Ideas to Impact”. This encapsulates the transformative journey at the heart of the Open Compute Project.

On Wednesday,  October 16 at 12:50 – 1:10pm, Paul Pindell, Principal Architect at F5 and Chair of the OPI Project Marketing Outreach Working Group, and Derek Miller, Senior Principal Security Architect at Arm and OPI community member, will give a presentation titled, “Beyond CPUs and GPUs: Extending Confidential Computing to DPUs for Enhanced AI Security.”

Confidential computing is a hot topic that is gaining momentum thanks to the need of privacy preserving AI use cases  running on 3rd party infrastructure. Hardware-based enclaves such as AMD SEV, Intel TDX, and Arm CCA are now considered the most pragmatic approach. On the GPU side, we are also seeing support added to the NVIDIA H100. So far, the focus has been on implementations in the Central CPUs and GPUs. With the adoption of DPUs to offload task such as TLS proxy services, over-the-network storage operations and asymmetric cryptography there is a strong case to extend Confidential Compute to these devices. In this talk we will go through what makes the intersection of confidential computing and DPUs so interesting, and will present our ongoing work exploring new use cases such as vicarious attestation and mesh services offload.   With these opportunities presented, we hope to influence manufactures of DPU cards to produce solutions that enable Confidential Compute.

Check out the complete schedule here.

Several other OPI Project leaders and ambassadors will be on-site at the Summit ready to answer questions or discuss OPI at member booths including:

  • Arm
  • Intel
  • Dell Technologies
  • Keysight
  • Marvell

OPI Project will have a demo at the Arm booth while other booths will showcase technology tested in the OPI lab. More details to come….
