The podcast introduces Oracle Acceleron, an evolution of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's (OCI) Gen2 network architecture, designed to enhance performance, security, and energy efficiency, particularly for AI and high-performance workloads. It explains the historical context of cloud virtualization, from OS hypervisors to OCI's Gen2 off-box virtualization with a "cloud control computer" for improved security and isolation. Acceleron integrates the host Network Interface Card (NIC) and the cloud control computer onto the same silicon chip, using static hardware-based isolation and an on-chip Ethernet interface. This new architecture reduces power consumption and silicon footprint, enabling higher network bandwidth (400-800 gigabytes) while strengthening security through secure boot, automatic updates, and hardware-enforced isolation.
