Abstract

A stream of tuples to be processed by a plurality of processing elements operating on one or more computer processors are received. A first stream operator that is configured to perform a first operation on the received stream of tuples is identified by monitoring one or more stream operators in an operator graph. The first stream operator is determined to be a target operator. A field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) card is determined to be configurable to perform the first operation. The FPGA card is determined to be available to perform the first operation. The FPGA card is added to the operator graph.
