Snowfall: Hardware Stream Analysis Made Easy
Jens Teubner, Louis Woods · 2011
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are chip devices that can be runtime-reconfigured to realize arbitrary processing tasks directly in hardware. Industrial products [Net, Xtr] as well as research prototypes [MTA09, MVB + 09, SLS + 10, TMA11] demonstrated how this capability can be exploited to build highly efficient processors for data warehousing,
