Mountain View, California – December 13, 2024 — NeuroBlade, a leader in data analytics acceleration technology, today announced support for the newly released Amazon EC2 F2 instances, unlocking breakthrough performance for cloud-native data analytics workloads. These new instances, powered by AMD FPGA and EPYC CPUs, now feature NeuroBlade’s acceleration platform—enabling customers to process more data, faster, and with greater efficiency.

With the proliferation of AI/ML applications and the shift of enterprise data workloads to the cloud, NeuroBlade’s integration with EC2 F2 represents a significant leap forward in analytics infrastructure. This powerful cloud-based solution enables faster queries, superior scalability, and improved total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to traditional CPU-based systems.

“By leveraging AMD FPGA and EPYC technologies, our acceleration platform on EC2 F2 instances is removing long-standing performance bottlenecks,” said Elad Sity, CEO and Co-founder of NeuroBlade. “We’re delivering a flexible, high-performance analytics solution that’s built for today’s data-driven organizations.”

EC2 F2 + NeuroBlade = Cloud-Native Analytics Acceleration

Organizations can now access NeuroBlade’s analytics acceleration directly within the AWS cloud using EC2 F2 instances or deploy it on-premises via a PCIe accelerator card. This dual delivery model gives customers the flexibility to test, integrate, and scale their analytics platforms in both cloud and hybrid environments—ensuring insights remain close to the data.

Key benefits:

• Drastically faster query processing

• Lower total cost of ownership

• Seamless integration with open-source engines like Presto and Apache Spark

• Industry-leading query performance per dollar (QpH/$)

• Available in the cloud or on-prem as a plug-in PCIe card

Flexible Integrations with Presto and Apache Spark

NeuroBlade supports turnkey deployments using Prestissimo (Presto + Velox) and Apache Spark, offering customers a simplified path to benchmark performance with TPC-H, TPC-DS, or their own datasets. These setups make it easy to conduct direct comparisons between accelerated and non-accelerated environments—all within the same cloud infrastructure.

This makes NeuroBlade an ideal choice for enterprises seeking:

• High-throughput interactive query performance

• Efficient data lake analytics

• Accelerated workloads for AI/ML pipeline pre-processing

Empowering the Future of Cloud-Native Analytics

The introduction of NeuroBlade on EC2 F2 instances positions the company at the forefront of next-generation data infrastructure, offering scalable, software-friendly acceleration for big data environments.

For customers ready to boost performance and reduce analytics costs, NeuroBlade provides a future-ready platform that supports modern analytics needs—from enterprise BI and data science to real-time insights and operational intelligence.
