Keynote talk II: Accelerating data centers using reconfigurable logic

Abstract

Reconfigurable logic has the potential to provide hardware level performance with the flexibility of software. Such properties make it an interesting solution in data center environments that value high throughput, low latency, low power, and uniformity of hardware. Microsoft has been exploring the use of reconfigurable logic in its data centers. In this talk, I will describe some of our efforts in this area.
