QCOM) through its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and
Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX), today announced a strategic technical
collaboration to deliver industry-leading heterogeneous computing
solutions with new levels of efficiency and performance through
FPGA-enabled dynamic workload acceleration on Qualcomm
Technologies' server platforms. The strategic collaboration is
designed to span multiple product generations, ranging from card
level to highly-integrated solutions. Target applications include
compute acceleration, big data analytics, machine learning, storage
and CloudRAN.
As workloads in cloud computing infrastructure demand higher
compute capabilities, more power efficiency and greater
flexibility, both companies are committed to delivering new
high-performance solutions to exceed these industry needs. Qualcomm
Technologies' 64-bit ARMv8-based server processor with Xilinx FPGAs
should enable customers to gain compelling performance,
performance/watt and lower total cost of ownership. Xilinx's All
Programmable portfolio serves as a scalable reconfigurable
acceleration platform that can be optimized on demand to any
workload.
"We are enthusiastic about the growth that this collaboration
will foster," said Anand
Chandrasekher, senior vice president, Qualcomm Technologies,
Inc. "Xilinx's strengths in highly programmable workload
acceleration, connectivity, and system-on-chip technologies will
complement Qualcomm Technologies' leading processor solutions for
the next generation of heterogeneous computing."
"Cloud computing is a strategic area of focus for Xilinx," said
Victor Peng, executive vice
president and general manager of the programmable products group at
Xilinx. "We are pleased to work with Qualcomm Technologies to
deliver a very significant improvement in total cost of ownership,
performance, and lower power to data centers worldwide."
