Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) offer a fairly non-invasive method to specialize custom architectures towards a specific application domain. Recent studies has successfully demonstrated that single-node FPGAs can be a rival to both CPUs and GPUs in performance. Unfortunately, most existing studies limit themselves to using a single FPGA devices, and their scalability requires more investigation.
