Abstract:This paper presents a novel approach for accelerating the top-k heavy hitters query in data streams using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Current hardware acceleration approaches rely on the direct and strict mapping of software algorithms into hardware, limiting their performance and practicality due to the lack of hardware optimizations at an algorithmic level. The presented approach optimizes a well-known software algorithm by carefully relaxing some of its requirements to allow for the design of a … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
