Xilinx technical demonstrations at IDF 2014 will showcase:

• Key Value Store Application Acceleration

The Xilinx demonstration is a broadly applicable key value store workload acceleration engine (i.e. Memcached and NoSQL) that delivers significant performance/watt acceleration at substantially lower latency and compliments the OpenCL development environment for Xilinx® devices and Vivado® HLS development tools. This solution leverages the Alpha Data ADM-PCIE-7V3 board which is based on the All Programmable Virtex®-7 FPGA.

• NVMe Flash Storage Platform Featuring a Kintex-7 FPGA

This demonstration is an NVMe-based flash storage solution running on a Xilinx Kintex®-7 FPGA development platform showcasing a fully compliant NVMe spec 1.1 interface. It leverages Xilinx's leading SerDes performance and power optimized FPGA solution while enabling the latest industry protocol for the flash storage market.
