I saw a thread on reading sensor data using Julia [What Is a DPU? | NVIDIA Blog](https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2020/05/20/whats-a-dpu-data-processing-unit/)  
It leads me to ask if anyone has successfully used Julia with SmartNICs / DPUs  
[https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/ushering-in-a-new-era-of-hpc-and-supercomputing-performance-with-dpus/](https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/ushering-in-a-new-era-of-hpc-and-supercomputing-performance-with-dpus/)

Durham University has a lot of Bluefield DPUs if anyone is interested

I could probably get access to one of our lab systems with Bluefield to experiment.

ps. If I have asked this question in the past forgive me

I didn’t see this at the time of posting, but collaborators and I did recently publish a paper on running Julia on SmartNICs.
