OpenPOWER OpenCAPI FPGA Accelerators
As a member of the OpenPOWER Foundation, MLE provides platforms and middleware for accelerating applications running on IBM POWER8/POWER9 with 3rd-party FPGA cards. MLE solutions are integrated with the Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) from the OpenCAPI Consortium and the Open Source Storage, Network, and Analytics Programming (SNAP) Platform from IBM.
With the advent of the Compute Express Link (CXL) MLE is working with partners to migrate FPGA Accelerator technology from OpenCAPI over to CXL.
