Architecture Anatomy: The DPU as an Independent Mini-Server Pod

⚡ The Technical Shift: Deep dive into Data Processing Unit (DPU) System-on-Chip (SoC) anatomy: Multi-core ARM/MIPS clusters, dedicated DDR5 memory channels, independent boot flash, and local PCIe root complexes.

⚙️ The Operational Reality: Operating systems running a dedicated Linux kernel (Ubuntu/CentOS embedded) completely isolated from the host CPU.

📐 Architectural Concept: Treating the network interface card not as a peripheral, but as an autonomous compute node inside the server chassis.
