Comment Comment by rwmj Red Hat supported a lot of research into this and there's some really interesting stuff, but nothing that is very compelling for commercial use. What uses do you have in mind?To my mind the more interesting stuff are the PCIe FPGA boards like https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/alveo/u200.h...One particularly interesting research project was using the FPGA fabric to remap addresses, allowing database tables to be "virtually" rearranged (eg. making a row-major data source into a column-major source for easier searching). https://disc.bu.edu/papers/edbt23-relational-memory https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.14349.pdf parent rwmj 2 years ago
