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.
