Complicity of High-End SOC-FPGA’s for Data Centers

Abstract

As the network traffic increasing significantly due to increase in Data streaming, Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, Increasing the load on Data Centers, Which leads to demand for high computational capabilities, low latency, high-bandwidth, power efficient data accelerators. As Re-Configurability of FPGA’s are more flexible for developing customized applications, so the FPGA hardware based data accelerators are the potential devices to achieve low latency and power efficient requirements. The modern FPGA’s are coming up with the embedded communication hard IP’s like PCIe, Ethernet, & DDR based memory controllers, which makes easy for the deployment of network attached FPGA’s in data centers. This paper presents the role of FPGA’s in datacenters and analysis of high-end FPGA’s by various vendors, which are suitable for deployment in data centers.
