An Efficient High-Throughput LZ77-Based Decompressor in Reconfigurable Logic

To best leverage high-bandwidth storage and network technologies requires an improvement in the speed at which we can decompress data. We present a “refine and recycle” method applicable to LZ77-type decompressors that enables efficient high-bandwidth designs and present an implementation in reconfigurable logic. The method refines the write...

Database Acceleration on FPGAs

Though field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have been used to accelerate database systems, they have not been widely adopted for the following reasons. As databases have transitioned to higher bandwidth technology such as in-memory and NVMe, the communication overhead associated with accelerators has become more of a burden. Also, FPGAs are...
