A number of FPGA-based rapid prototyping systems for ASIC emulation and hardware acceleration have been developed in recent years.In this paper we present a prototyping system with distinct flexibility and scalability.The designs will be described from an architectural view and measurements of the communication infrastructure will be presented.Additionally, the properties of the system will be shown using examples, that can be scaled from a single-FPGA-implementation to a multi-FPGA, cluster based implementation.
