SPDK stands for Storage Performance Development Kit. It is an open source set of software libraries and tools that enable the creation of high-performance, low-latency storage solutions. SPDK focuses on optimizing storage performance by leveraging technologies such as NVMe, RDMA, and PCIe, and providing a user-friendly programming interface to make it easier for developers to build custom storage solutions. The kit includes a variety of APIs, drivers, and utilities that can be used to develop applications and services that require fast access to large datasets, such as data analytics, machine learning, and AI workloads. SPDK is maintained by Intel Corporation, but it is available to all users and developers under the permissive BSD license.
