The CTAccel Image Processor for Intel PAC is crafted to elevate the processing capabilities of data centers by transferring intensive image processing tasks from CPU to FPGA. By exploiting the strengths of Intel's Programmable Acceleration Card (PAC), this IP offers substantial improvements in throughput, latency, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
This IP enhances data center efficiency with increased image processing speeds ranging from four to fivefold over traditional CPU solutions, alongside reduced latency by two to threefold. The result is fewer servers needed, translating into lower maintenance and energy costs. Its compatibility with well-known image processing tools ensures that users need not alter their existing setups substantially to benefit from the acceleration offered by the FPGA.
Moreover, the CTAccel Image Processor leverages advanced FPGA partial reconfiguration, allowing users to update and adjust computational cores remotely, maximizing performance for specific applications without downtime. This flexibility is pivotal for scenarios involving varied processing loads or evolving computational demands, ensuring uninterrupted performance enhancement.
