The dbX appliance is a fully-integrated platform incorporating all of the components of an analysis system: storage, computing, interconnect network and database engine. The patented XtremeData computing module features SQL-in-Silicon hardware acceleration using a Stratix IV FPGA. The in-system programmability of Stratix IV FPGAs offers a versatile platform for the implementation of custom processing engines. XtremeData has implemented Stratix IV FPGAs in a unique, patented module called the In-Socket Accelerator (ISA), which is pin compatible with x86 CPUs from Intel and AMD, and can physically sit in the secondary CPU socket. The Stratix IV FPGA-based ISA generates a 10X performance improvement over the CPU, while reducing power consumption by one-third. FPGA-based hardware acceleration enables XtremeData’s dbX appliance to provide sustainable performance scaling from terabytes to petabytes…
