Building a Modern Data Warehouse on FPGA-accelerated Postgres

Tuesday, February 25 – 1PM eastern time

If you’re a data architect who’d like to replace those aging systems with a free, open source database, then come learn about building a data warehouse with Postgres on FPGA-equipped commodity hardware–on premises or in the cloud.

FPGA-accelerated Postgres has been shown to deliver performance that’s comparable to Netezza, but at a small fraction of the cost.

Agenda:

• Postgres for data warehousing, really?

• The new data warehouse reference architecture

• FPGA acceleration for Postgres – like adding 100 extra cores inside your server

• Shortening data loading windows via dynamic FPGA reconfiguration

• Scale inside with FPGA before you scale out – smaller, elastic clusters cut cost & downtime

• Multiple FPGAs per server programmed to handle different query types–standard SQL, text search, GIS, etc.

• Performance benchmark data

• How to get started
