Recently, the manufactures of supercomputers have made use of FPGAs to accelerate scientific applications [16][17]. Traditionally, the FPGAs were used only on non-scientific applications. The main reasons for this fact are: the floating-point computation complexity; the FPGA logic cells are not sufficient for the scientific cores implementation; the cores complexity prevents them to operate on high frequencies.
