Flexible Query Processor on FPGAs

Summary: FQP is an FPGA-based, online reconfigurable event-stream query processor that delivers line-rate select, project, and join over streams. It uniquely supports on-the-fly query-expression updates, combining hardware-speed processing with dynamic reconfigurability to beat CPU/GPU-only streaming bottlenecks.
