Dell EMC and Fujitsu will put Intel FPGA accelerator cards in turn-key servers
by from Techreport on (#3MFMH)
GPUs aren't the only kinds of compute accelerators finding their way into servers these days. Field-programmable gate arrays, or FPGAs, help bridge the gap between general-purpose processors and application-specific integrated circuits. Intel announced today that major server vendors will be offering its Programmable Acceleration Cards (PACs) as configuration options for their products. The blue team says Dell EMC is ready to deploy PACs "in volume" in its PowerEdge R640, R740 and R740XD servers and that Fujitsu will offer PACs as an option in its Primergy servers.
