"Key-Value Store Acceleration with OpenPOWER"
by Michaela Blott, Senior Staff
Research Engineer, Xilinx
- This presentation discusses the architecture of an accelerated
key-value store appliance which leverages a novel data-flow
implementation of Memcached on an FPGA. The design achieves up to
36X in performance and power at response times in the microsecond
range. Coherent integration of memory through IBM's Power8 CAPI
interface allows both host memory and coherent-attached flash to be
used as the value store.

"Data Center and Cloud Computing Market Landscape and
Challenges" by Manoj
Roge, Director of Wired and Data Center Solutions,
Xilinx
- This presentation discusses data center and cloud computing
market landscapes, examines technology challenges that limit
scaling of cloud computing and delivers insights into how FPGAs
combined with general purpose processors are transforming
next-generation data centers with tremendous compute horsepower,
low-latency and extreme power efficiency.
Technical Demonstrations in Xilinx Booth #913
- Key Value Store Application Acceleration
Solution
Xilinx is showcasing a Key Value Store (KVS)
application acceleration demo leveraging the Alpha Data
ADM-PCIE-7V3 board and OpenPOWER's coherent accelerator processor
interface (CAPI). This demonstration is a broadly applicable KVS
workload acceleration engine delivering performance/watt
acceleration at lower latency.
- Convey Computer Corporation OpenPOWER-based Acceleration
Solution
Convey Computer Corporation will be showing its
Eagle co-processor, a PCIe® form factor add-in card that utilizes
Xilinx FPGAs to deliver application-specific acceleration for
data-intensive applications. Eagle co-processors are IBM Power8
CAPI capable, and incorporate a Xilinx Virtex-7 X980T FPGA with
four on-board SO-DIMMs for local data storage. OpenPOWER systems
with Eagle co-processors provide an ideal solution for big data and
high performance computing applications.
