FPGA Grid

A Distributed FPGA Solution for High-Performance Computing in the Cloud

LDA Technologies introduces an ultra-low latency FPGA interconnect architecture with enormous bandwidth and provides expandable platform for multi-FPGA solutions.

FPGAs are firmly represented in data centers: they perform various computational and acceleration tasks that will only increase in complexity along with the advancement of technology. Similarly, the number of FPGAs in data centers is growing on a daily basis and will continue to do so, especially considering recent developments introduced by big players such as Intel and Microsoft.

A quest for a viable FPGA utilization infrastructure in the cloud has been underway for some time now. This white paper outlines an architecture based on a new technology introduced by LDA Technologies earlier this year. Architecture that will take FPGAs to a whole new level of abstraction and will allow access to unlimited FPGA resources in the cloud without existing hardware modification.
