Data Processing on FPGAs
VLDB 2009 Reviews
contributions and impact (up to one paragraph) The paper shows how to offload computation of a sliding-window median operator to FPGA hardware. The implementation uses a sorting network on the FPGA, resulting [...] hint at any potential for extending the approach to other operators, or even to other data types or window sizes. What other kinds of data processing than sorting networks are there that do not require much [...] easy customization. To explore the use of FPGAs in the DB world, the authors implemented a sliding window-based median operator (using sorting) on FPGAs. The paper provides experimental evaluations of the …
