Enabling FPGA Memory Management for Big Data Applications Using Fletcher

vailability of FPGAs is increasing due to cloud service offerings. In the wake of a new in-memory storage format specification, Apache Arrow, FPGAs are increasingly interesting for data processing acceleration in the big data domain. The Fletcher framework can be used to easily develop FPGA accelerated applications that access data stored in...

High-Throughput Big Data Analytics Through Accelerated Parquet to Arrow Conversion

With the advent of high-bandwidth non-volatile storage devices, the classical assumption that database analytics applications are bottlenecked by CPUs having to wait for slow I/O devices is being flipped around. Instead, CPUs are no longer able to decompress and deserialize the data stored in storage-focused file formats fast enough to keep up...
