Enabling Transparent Acceleration of Big Data Frameworks Using Heterogeneous Hardware
Summary: Co-designs Flink’s execution model and hardware backends to transparently accelerate arbitrary Java UDFs without API changes. Unmodified applications run on GPUs/FPGAs, achieving up to 65×/184× speedups over CPU Flink. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
