Accelerate data processing speed and efficiency


Xilinx will showcase its SmartSSD CSD and partner solutions at the Flash Memory Summit virtual conference and expo, November 10-12.

Built on Xilinx FPGAs, this product is a flexible, programmable storage platform that empowers developers to solve a wide range of data center challenges. It also allows a new breed of software developers to easily implement innovative hardware-accelerated solutions using familiar, high-level languages.

SmartSSD CSD, which integrates Xilinx's FPGA accelerator, bypasses the limited server CPU by performing high-speed computing close to where data resides. By reducing data movement, it accelerates data processing speed and efficiency with lower latency and power consumption.

Additionally, it allows businesses to optimize CAPEX and OPEX by meeting users' demands for faster access to data without purchasing more servers. Additionally, it allows other higher-level tasks to be performed smoothly by utilizing the reduced CPU resources.

Additionally, SmartSSD CSD can accelerate data processing performance of applications such as database management, video processing, AI (Artificial Intelligence) layers, complex search, and virtualization by more than 10x.

“The Smart SSD CSD will enable a new generation of developers across a broad spectrum to harness the power of computational storage and rapidly build powerful applications that can solve complex data center challenges,” said Pej Roshan, vice president of marketing, Data Center Group, Xilinx. “The range of capabilities it can perform, from transparent compression to next-generation AI inference acceleration, is beyond developers’ imagination.”
