Embodiments of the present invention provide a database system that is optimized by using hardware acceleration. The system may be implemented in several variations to accommodate a wide range of queries and database sizes. In some embodiments, the system may comprise a host system that is coupled to one or more hardware accelerator components. The host system may execute software or provide an interface for receiving queries. The host system analyzes and parses these queries into tasks. The host system may then select some of the tasks and translate them into machine code instructions, which are executed by one or more hardware accelerator components. The tasks executed by hardware accelerators are generally those tasks that may be repetitive or processing intensive. Such tasks may include, for example, indexing, searching, sorting, table scanning, record filtering, and the like.

Methods and systems for hardware acceleration of database operations and queries

A unified networking device communicates directly with storage devices and servers in the data center and communicates directly with switches and routers outside of the data center environment. The unified networking device manages data transfers between storage devices, between a storage device and a server, between a storage device and a web switch, and between a storage device and a router. The unified networking device is configured to perform data transfers while bypassing a server. The unified networking device is further configured to perform multi-protocol conversion.
