What is the benefit of having a separate bridge from the appliaction FPGA?
The In-Socket Accelerators (ISA) with separate bridges offer the following advantages: 1) The static bridge allows users to never have to worry about breaking the bus and crashing the computer. XtremeData has gone to great detail to test, prove, and deliver a solid bridge between your custom logic and the CPU so you do not have to worry about bus protocols. 2) A static bridge allows the user to download new applications into the application FPGA(s) without having to reboot the server, etc.
