What You Need to Know About IoT Data and Its Impact on Information Infrastructure
SLIDE 4 Common Barriers to IoT’s Popular Use Cases
- Real-time insights as events occur, close to
the source of data
- Advanced-scale performance & storage to
analyze data from a variety of IoT devices
- Compact & efficient infrastructure
- Easy to deploy, use & maintain
ecosystems
- Minimal disruption to existing ecosystems
- Low operational costs
- No security or performance trade-offs
- Analysis slowed by data ETL &
movement
- Persistent compute, I/O & storage
bottlenecks
- Data types that must be analyzed in silos
- Sprawling, inefficient analytics
infrastructures
- Frequent software ecosystem updates
- Persistent data privacy & security issues

Thriving in the IoT Era: Fast Data Analysis Powered by New Hybrid FPGA/x86 Compute Architectures
“Systems built on GPUs and FPGAs will function more like human brains that are particularly suited to be applied to deep learning and other pattern-matching algorithms that smart machines use. FPGA-based architecture will allow further distribution of algorithms into smaller form factors, with considerably less electrical power in the device mesh, thus allowing advanced machine learning capabilities to be proliferated into the tiniest IoT endpoints, such as homes, cars, wristwatches and even human beings. — David Cearley, Gartner
“Intel’s $16.7 Billion Altera Deal Is Fueled by Data Centers.” “Microsoft Supercharges Bing Search with Programmable Chips.”

processed serially
— Purpose built algorithms — Can be reprogrammed via firmware
— Search, fuzzy search, image and video analysis, deep learning
— Can execute many hardware- parallel operations in one clock cycle — More output with less power — Can complete the same problem at 100X the performance of x86/CPU
