On-Chip Accelerators for Database
Example: Looking for Instances of a Given Value in Memory
Today’s Microprocessors
 Execution Code
Future Microprocessor
 Execution Code
 Get target from memory
 Give range to scan and search value
 Compare to search value
 Done
 Build results list
 Do for each target in memory
 Consequence
 Benefit
 Core busy for entire scan
 Core completely freed up
 Nothing else can happen
 Other code can execute
 Slow and expensive
 Breakthrough performance and efficiency
