Each instantiation of the fabric consists of a 6 x 8 2D torus of high-end field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) embedded into a half-rack of 48 servers. The authors deployed the reconfigurable fabric in a bed of 1,632 servers and FPGAs in a production datacenter and successfully used it to accelerate the ranking portion of the Bing Web search engine by nearly a factor of two. This is the IEEE Micro's Top Picks version of the original ISCA 2014 paper.}, publisher = {IEEE}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/reconfigurable-fabric-top-picks/}, pages = {10-22}, journal = {IEEE Micro}, volume = {35}, }
