Xilinx Tunes Up FPGAs For HPC, Graph Analytics

November 17, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

High performance computing hardware is really a software game, and the software we are referring to is at a very low level where deep expertise in libraries and solvers can make the difference between a capable device performing up to its specifications and, well, not so much. …

The Accelerated Path To Petabyte-Scale Graph Databases

October 28, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 0

Database acceleration using specialized co-processors is nothing new. Just to give a few examples, data warehouses running on the Netezza platform, owned by IBM for more than a decade now, uses a custom and parallelized PostgreSQL database matched to FPGA acceleration for database and storage routines. …

How The FPGA Can Take On CPU And NPU Engines And Win

July 14, 2021 Timothy Prickett Morgan 2

We made a joke – sort of – many years ago when we started this publication that the future compute engines would look more like a GPU card than they did a server as we knew it back then. …

AMD Girds For Compute War With Xilinx Deal

October 27, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 4

The rumors were right, and AMD president and chief executive officer Lisa Su is indeed printing out a tower of stock to acquire FPGA maker Xilinx for what amounts to about $35 billion and, as it turns out, she is relinquishing her position as president to Victor Peng, chief executive at Xilinx, to close the deal. …

Pondering That Rumored $30 Billion AMD Acquisition Of Xilinx

October 9, 2020 Timothy Prickett Morgan 10

You can have a strategy, but you can’t buy one.

Nothing illustrates this principle more than the networking buying binges that both Intel and AMD went on nearly a decade ago, which did not really amount to much in the end but which made some sort of sense in the middle of it all happening. …
