Intel® QuickAssist Technology for Embedded and Communication Applications

Intel® QuickAssist Technology is a comprehensive initiative designed for the needs of embedded and communications solutions and consists of a family of interrelated Intel and industry standard technologies that enable optimized use and deployment of accelerators on Intel® platforms.

This initiative includes support for acceleration using Intel® multi-core processors and third-party accelerators while developing new integrated accelerators inside the Intel® processor. The approach includes a software layer (Accelerator Abstraction Layer - AAL) that allows applications to easily manage accelerators and protect software investment.

• Decrease development time without the need to develop proprietary acceleration layers for each new device.
• Accelerate performance for demanding applications with Front Side Bus attached Field Programmable Gate Array (FSB-FPGA) hardware modules.
• Support future generations of system-on-chip and multi-core processor designs.
• Increase business flexibility with solutions that fit changing business requirements without being tied to a particular accelerator.
• Migrate from one technology to another with minimum impact to applications with AAL.
• Support for small form factor accelerators with emerging technology combining powerful technology on a single chip.
