Customized FPGA-based networking acceleration made easy
Complex data-intensive applications in the areas of genomics, finance, industry 4.0 and other disciplines are pushing the boundaries of data center capabilities. Intel FPGA-based acceleration exploits massively parallelized hardware offloading to maximize performance and power efficiency of data centers.
The new solution abstracts the complexities of implementation to enable architects and developers to quickly develop and deploy power-efficient acceleration of a variety of applications and workloads. This consists of three major elements: Intel qualified FPGA acceleration platforms that operate seamlessly with Intel Xeon CPUs; the Acceleration Stack for Intel Xeon CPU with FPGAs which provides industry standard frameworks, interfaces and optimized libraries; and a growing ecosystem of market-specific solutions.
On the hardware level , Intel has just unveiled its Intel Programmable Acceleration Card featuring the Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA enabled by the acceleration stack. This new platform approach enables Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), such as Dell EMC, to offer Intel Xeon processor-based server acceleration solutions with their unique value add. The card is sampling now and is expected to be broadly available in the first half of 2018.
