Re:Xilinx to Acquire Solarflare by 1e-9 on Thursday April 25, 2019 @09:57AM (#19748141)
Yes, but the Solarflare ApplicationOnload Engine has several issues (e.g. limited Altera FPGA, inflexible architecture, logic on a separate ASIC that must communicate with the FPGA, and still uses a host CPU for the networking stack), which should be resolved by fully integrating with the Xilinx Ultrascale+ technology and putting all networking and decision logic on one chip. The result should be a much faster, much more flexible, and much more powerful solution.
