GQE Overview¶
As explained in the Typical Use Cases section, Generic Query Engine (GQE) is our solution for general acceleration in database.
The GQE consists of a hardware overlay of post-bitstream programmable kernel(s) and corresponding software stack. It can process different tasks with the same xclbin downloaded into Alveo card.
In Level 2 acceleration, we provide the GQE’s kernel(s) as documented APIs, so that advanced developers can mix or extend the kernels for their own design.
