Nallatech offers multi-FPGA computing cards containing between one and seven Virtex FPGAs per card. Several such cards are plugged into the PCI slots of a desktop workstation and networked using Nallatech's DIMEtalk networking software, greatly increasing the available computing capability. This is our concept of a hybrid computing platform. The hybrid platform comprises several workstations in a cluster that you can integrate with Nallatech multi-FPGA cards to construct a high-performance computing system.
