QuickAssist Technology is a family of Intel PCIe and on-die accelerators, plus associated software. It's available on some Xeon Scalable 4th Gen processors, and QAA 8960/QAA 8970 PCIe cards. It covers cryptography and compression.

On Linux, QAT requires (out-of-tree as of 2023) kernel modules, firmware, and a userspace component. qat_service is a systemd service responsible for loading necessary kernel modules and enabling endpoints via the adf_ctl binary.
