Compared to other FPGA products targeted for high performance computing, what makes the DRC solution unique?
By inserting the RPU directly into a microprocessor socket, the coprocessor gets equivalent access to all the motherboard resources a CPU gets, such as direct HyperTransport (HT) access for CPU to CPU communication, local memory bandwidth, etc. It is DRC’s fundamental understanding of system level issues affecting performance that has led to RPU designs with additional simultaneously accessible memories. Since many applications are starved for data, especially once the logic is accelerated, the RPU can provide true application acceleration.
