Abstract
To advance datacenter capabilities beyond what commodity server designs can provide, the authors designed and built a composable, reconfigurable fabric to accelerate large-scale software services. They deployed the reconfigurable fabric in a bed of 1,632 servers and field-programmable gate arrays in a production datacenter and used it to increase the throughput of the ranking portion of the bing web search engine by nearly a factor of two.
