Half Billion IOPs of object store in a 1U Dell Server running REDIS

Algo-Logic Systems, Inc., a recognized leader of Gateware Defined Networking (GDN) accelerated applications, products, and solutions teamed with Dell, Xilinx, and CCIntegration to demonstrate the capability to deliver a Half-Billion IOPs in a 1U server at the RedisConf 2020. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are drastically increasing the speed of database servers. By implementing a Key-Value Store (KVS) entirely in FPGA logic, servers can offload time-critical queries from the CPU. In this work, we describe the architecture of a 1U server that uses an AMD CPU to implement a full REDIS database coupled with three Xilinx® FPGA-based Alveo™ U50 accelerator cards that offload 450M GET or SET Input/Output operations per second (IOPs). Algo-Logic’s new Key Value Store (KVS) powered by the Xilinx UltraScale+ architecture provides in-memory object store with the record-breaking latency and throughput performance to enable sensor fusion, real-time analytics and scale out machine learning. Implemented on the new Xilinx Alveo U50 accelerator card, the KVS merges live data from multiple sources, shares data with algorithms that perform inference and scale-out machine learning, and sources data for actuators and live visualization. Xilinx Alveo U50 accelerator cards with the Algo-Logic KVS can be installed in a standard PCIe slot, deployed in data centers, and/or accessed over the AlgoCentral cloud as a service. https://algo-logic.com/node/152
