Microsoft has been using #fpga in #smartnics in their data centers for many years as part of projects Catapult and Brainwave.

I don't know enough about fpgas to know what I can do with them, but the price on the used market is too tempting to pass these up.

Here's a good write up about the boards and making use of them.

Used FPGA boards

This post documents my quest for finding boards with high end FPGA devices and peripherals for reasonable prices. Used SmartNICs I started looking at accelerators and first generation SmartNICs.

#SmartNICs have massive potential performance benefit, but are currently inconvenient (read: expensive) to build platforms that use them effectively. I’m working on making #balloonlang (balloon++) the language of choice for them!

♲ @Netronome ([email protected]): Netronome’s #SmartNICs are capable of running #BPF programs, directly offloaded from the #Linux #kernel. As time passes, we keep improving BPF and the support on our SmartNICs. Read, "Ever Deeper with BPF – An Update on Hardware Offload Support" by @qeole. www.netronome.com/blog/ever-de…
