• Altran demonstrates FPGA-based Fronthaul Gateway software framework for 5G at Mobile World Congress Los Angeles Last week, at Mobile World Congress Los Angeles, Altran demonstrated its disaggregated Fronthaul Gateway software framework for mobile communications networks based, in part, on Intel FPGAs. This software framework allows wireless carriers, network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), and network equipment providers (NEPs) to accelerate large-scale 5G fronthaul deployment in a scalable manner. With 5G technology now driving growth in mobile networking,...

• Improve NFV Infrastructure performance with Segment Routing over IPv6 using the Intel® FPGA PAC N3000 Segment Routing (SR) transforms the way networking infrastructure handles packets to achieve better network performance. It’s useful at the Internet’s core and within or between data centers. SR is a simpler way to control networks that uses source routing to pre-program packet routes, to pre-schedule packet processing, and to implement traffic-engineering policies. SR can be used in Multiprotocol Label Switching...

• Free Webinar: Accelerate Cassandra NoSQL Database Performance using Intel® FPGA Programmable Acceleration Cards rENIAC’s Distributed Data Engine accelerates Apache Cassandra NoSQL database performance by as much as an order of magnitude. It improves both throughput and latency for database transactions. Facebook originally developed the Apache Cassandra distributed NoSQL database to power its inbox search feature and released it to the open-source community more than a decade ago, where it has continued to flourish....
