Spotlight: FPGAs in the DataCenter
IBM Netezza 1000 Data Warehouse Appliance
17Source: IBM Netezza 1000 Datasheet and “Teradata and IBM PureData System for Analytics Compared” White Paper from IBM.com
“IBM Netezza 1000 uses Field Programmable Gate Arrays(or FPGAs) which have been programmed specifically tohandle large volumes of data very efficiently.
These FPGAs … removes I/O bottlenecks … creating a significant turbocharger effect on system performance.”
“The visibility engine maintains … compliance at streaming speeds. All this work, … is achieved in an energy efficient FPGA measuring just one square inch. “
FPGAs can greatly enhance CPU-based data center processing by accelerating algorithms and minimizing bottlenecks
FPGAs Increase Efficiency in the Data Center
Massively parallel architecture- Has 10X-100X the number of computational units- Enables pipelined designs that perform multiple /
different instructions in a single clock cycle
- Better localized memory avoids bottlenecks
Programmability that enables application-specific accelerators
