An FPGA enhanced extensible and parallel query storage system for emerging NVRAM

抄録

Modern data appliances face severe bandwidth bottlenecks when transferring data between storage and host. In this paper, we present a storage system which can improve performance more than three times by using an FPGA to implement the off-load engine. Regardless of the data size, the host CPU utilization varies vastly between the two systems, traditional way uses 100% and the system presented only uses 1%. Compared to the traditional way, the memory allocation has been greatly reduced. The system presented is explored for emerging NVRAMs which have many benefits compared to the traditional memory.
