Accelerating Neo4j with CAPI SNAP from IBM Power Systems
Blog post from Neo4j
The text discusses IBM's CAPI (Central Accelerator Platform Interface) and OpenCAPI technologies, which enable the acceleration of various applications on their Power Systems servers. The company has partnered with Neo4j to create accelerated solutions for its graph databases, leveraging FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) technology. CAPI SNAP is a toolset that allows application developers to port their code to the CAPI platform and quickly get acceleration results, easing the transition to FPGAs. With this partnership, Neo4j's large graph databases can be accelerated with faster data filtering and memory access, providing significant benefits in terms of performance and latency. The text also mentions upcoming POWER9 launches and new accelerated database products, as well as hands-on tutorials for CAPI SNAP developers.
