Direct GPU/FPGA Communication Via PCI Express
Microsoft Research, Redmond, USA
1st International Workshop on Unconventional Cluster Architectures and Applications (UCAA 2012), 2012
Parallel processing has hit mainstream computing in the form of CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs. While explorations proceed with all three platforms individually and with the CPU-GPU pair, little exploration has been performed with the synergy of GPU-FPGA. This is due in part to the cumbersome nature of communication between the two. This paper presents a mechanism for direct GPU-FPGA communication and characterizes its performance in a full hardware implementation.
