It’s being called a high-bandwidth, “smart” network interface controller — the latest in an emerging line of distributed processing components for so-called “disaggregated” servers. But a close examination of Xilinx’s new SN1000 Alveo SmartNIC series, announced Tuesday, reveals an emerging softness about the classes of w...
