Using FPGAs to Accelerate Data Centers (WP005)

With the technology industry at a crossroads — the effective repeal of Moore's Law  — data centers have become the sweet spot of the technology sector, showing healthy revenue growth and attracting new system solutions in both hardware and software. Unlike the ethereal promise of upcoming wonders from AI, robotics and the IoT, data center growth and innovation is happening in the here and now, with an even brighter future ahead the moment other nascent markets emerge from their chrysalis with killer apps of their own.
