Peltenburg, J.W. (author), Hadnagy, A. (author), Brobbel, M. (author), Morrow, Robert (author), Al-Ars, Z. (author)JSON is a popular data interchange format for many web, cloud, and IoT systems due to its simplicity, human readability, and widespread support. However, applications must first parse and convert the data to a native in-memory format before being able to perform useful computations. Many big data applications with high performance requirements...conference paper 2021

Peltenburg, J.W. (author), van Straten, J. (author), Brobbel, M. (author), Al-Ars, Z. (author), Hofstee, H.P. (author)As big data analytics systems are squeezing out the last bits of performance of CPUs and GPUs, the next near-term and widely available alternative industry is considering for higher performance in the data center and cloud is the FPGA accelerator. We discuss several challenges a developer has to face when designing and integrating FPGA...journal article 2021

Peltenburg, J.W. (author), van Straten, J. (author), Brobbel, M. (author), Hofstee, H.P. (author), Al-Ars, Z. (author)As a columnar in-memory format, Apache Arrow has seen increased interest from the data analytics community. Fletcher is a framework that generates hardware interfaces based on this format, to be used in FPGA accelerators. This allows efficient integration of FPGA accelerators with various high-level software languages, while providing an easy-to...conference paper 2019
