FPL Demo: Runtime Stream Processing with Resource-Elastic Pipelines on FPGAs

Abstract

FPGAs are efficient at dataflow applications, as demonstrated in various application domains, including machine learning, communication, and image processing. In this demo, we accelerate database management operations transparently to the user by stitching together partially reconfigurable stream processing modules that implement database operators. Our runtime system orchestrates this, which builds custom pipelines according to runtime conditions. This demo will showcase an acceleration of SQL queries using our dynamic stream processing system running on a ZCU102 FPGA board.
