SAP accelerates compression workload in POC with Intel® OFS
A recent development project by developers demonstrates how easy it is to accelerate containerized workloads using an Intel® FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card (Intel® FPGA PAC) and The project moved an FPGA-accelerated compression algorithm called Re-Pair into a container and made it available as a service to customers using SAP HANA, a relational database management system. This project serves as a proof of concept (PoC) and demonstrates that FPGA-accelerated application workloads like Re-Pair can easily migrate into the pervasive containerized environments used in modern data centers without significant porting effort or major challenges.
