There was no mention of where exactly these would go. I doubt it would be on machines serving response online ... since the bottle neck is often in IO. Being able to index, process and learn data faster can lead to faster iteration and improve the speed of batch or offline jobs which in turn could improve the relevance. |

From the article:
"The system takes search queries coming from Bing and offloads a lot of the work to the FPGAs, which are custom-programmed for the heavy computational work needed to figure out which webpages results should be displayed in which order. "
That looks like they're in the interactive path somewhere.
