Typical reconfigurable computing systems are based on an I/O interconnect such as PCIe. This yields good bandwidth performance, but incurs significant overhead for small packet sizes, and makes the implementation of on-streaming-data applications unduly difficult. We describe an architecture based on Intel®Quick Path Interconnect®that addresses these concerns.
