Intel® Scalable I/O Virtualization (Intel® Scalable IOV) is a new approach from Intel to hardware based I/O virtualization that enables highly-scalable and high-performance sharing of I/O devices across isolated domains (traditional VMs, containers, or application processes), while reducing their cost and complexity. 
 In this talk Kevin will first introduce the concept of Intel® Scalable IOV, specifically about a hybrid approach through innovations in both hardware and software components to achieve the advantages of both scalability, performance and composability. Following that comes an overview of Intel®Scalable IOV reference architecture in Linux, based on extensions to VFIO mediated device framework and IOMMU sub-system.
