Abstract :
This paper presents the design and implementation of a new FPGA-based development system that was created with the goal of providing as much inter-FPGA bandwidth, host-to-FPGA bandwidth, memory capacity and memory bandwidth as feasible. The system meets these goals by providing 4 Altera Stratix FPGAs, 8GB of external memory, and a 64bit/66MHz PCI bus host-to-FPGA link.
