Abstract:
A printed circuit board comprises: a network controller; a memory controller; a heterogeneous processor; a field-programmable gate array (FPGA); and a non-volatile-media controller. The memory controller comprises: a fabric controller component configured to communicate with the network controller, the heterogeneous processor, the FPGA, and the non-volatile-media controller; and a media controller component configured to manage access relating to data stored in a volatile memory media. The FPGA is configured to perform computations relating to data stored via the non-volatile-media controller. The heterogeneous processor is configured to perform computation tasks relating to data stored via the memory controller. The printed circuit board is configured to be plugged in to a rack with a plurality of other plugged-in circuit boards.
