FPGA-Based Subsystems Accelerate Protocol Processing

The CebaFlex series PCI Express-enabled subsystem boards promise to boost protocol processing performance in data networking and enterprise storage systems by up to ten times. The boards execute application protocols in FPGA-based hardware with a streamlined path to implementation for high-volume applications. They offload the CPU, freeing up CPU cycles for higher value-add application processing. Other features include re-programmability, in-system upgrade capability, and support for industry-standard data management functions such as GZIP compression, GUNZIP decompression, and AES encryption algorithms.
