  • Hybrid database system using runtime reconfigurable hardware
    Patent number: 7974967
    Abstract: A system may include a routines repository that is configured to store and maintain hardware libraries, software libraries and metadata, a hybrid query engine that may be configured to receive a query, parse the query, compute a query execution plan and output the query execution plan using metadata and operators from the hardware libraries and/or the software libraries, and a routines management module that may be configured to provide the metadata and the operators from the routines repository to the hybrid query engine. The system may include an execution engine module that may be configured to receive the query execution plan, the execution engine module including a reconfigurable hardware execution engine having a reconfigurable fabric, where the reconfigurable hardware execution engine may be configured to process the query execution plan.
