what about using FPGAs in super computers or in high-performace systems or sercvers?

Hi,

as we know Advancements in FPGAs makes them ideal solutions for accelerating applications on high-performance computers and servers. [wp375]

I asked here to guide me on this area. "using FPGAs in supercomputers or other high performance systems"

I want to know how kinds of works are going on?
Who has some systems like this? and how this systems are designed and ....

What about the applicability of this systems?

There has been work on this for many years. I know AMD shipped opteron chips with fpgas connected over 10 years ago, but I think the main problem with these was the throughput between dual processor and FPGA wasnt really fast enough.
There is this article from 2006 about server acceleration using FPGAs:
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/21/drc_fpga_module/

And now Intel have bought Altera, and are currently shipping dev boards with Processors alongside FPGAs (again, the throughput is a problem) but they are about to ship the first test chips with an FPGA (basically a stratix V ) on the silicon to get around the bandwidth issue.
