Performance Advantage

Reconfigurable Computing systems derive their performance advantage over traditional systems through parallelism, computational efficiency, and access to application specific functional prefetch and data access units. This performance delivers significant competitive advantage on the increasingly more level playing field of clustered systems.

 

The following chart illustrates this point by showing the performance advantage of a single Series E MAP^® processor compared with a highly tuned code running on a 2.8-GHz Xeon™ microprocessor. As shown below, a single Series E MAP processor runs 206 times faster than a 2.8-GHz Xeon microprocessor when executing the 3DES algorithm.

 

 

Speedup numbers include all overhead, including data movement.
