Edge-based analytics using general-purpose processors
Increasing demand for bandwidth at the network edge is driving the need for easily programmable, low-cost signal processing systems that can scale as data volumes grow. This is leading to the deployment of general-purpose processors in domains traditionally occupied by digital signal processor (DSP) and FPGA devices, with off-the-shelf module vendors innovating on low-latency interconnect architectures and middleware solutions that unlock the value of commercial processors in the mobile and machine-to-machine (M2M) era.
