I found this link on Reddit ( View: https://www.reddit.com/r/FPGA/comments/6oie3e/hardwarebased_instruction_translation_similar_to/ ) but the only problems are latency. But that could be from using an FPGA (according to user tmadness, FPGAs have a low IPC, making them slow). Also, user...

I'm kind of curious but what were the 8 things you wrote down?

Since GPUs communicate through L2 cache (https://devblogs.nvidia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/image2.jpg), can cache coherence be used to connect the 2 graphics cards together? (almost like this...

Since x86, CISC processors are microcoded, could you microcode a RISC processor and make it a CISC processor? I feel like I am missing a lot about this topic so please don't bash me (a.k.a. I'm a newbie to microcode).

What about vGPUs? Am I correct about them?

So its just because it used to work well but now SLI/Crossfire doesn't work well? Not because of anything else?

From what I understand so far, a vCPU is a CPU that you can assign more virtual cores than physical cores, so they act sort of like threads. Whereas, I don't fully understand what vGPUs are. I believe they just divide up GPU cores for VMs. So am I correct or not? And can someone tell me what the...

In the description and even in the comments, it is said that this Quantum3D Mercury Brick scales well( View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nwx3UGf8gk ). But why? Is it because they are just 3D accelerators or is it because they render odd and even scan lines...

Since processor cores communicate with each other (https://www.bbc.com/bitesize/guides/zmb9mp3/revision/2), what about GPU cores? I know that they run in parallel but I don't know if they communicate with each other. So do GPU cores communicate with each other, like a CPU, or do they not?

I read it but I guess I didn't understand it. Thanks for the help though!

According to this post (https://blog.esciencecenter.nl/why-use-an-fpga-instead-of-a-cpu-or-gpu-b234cd4f309c), you can connect things directly to the pins of an FPGA. So can you connect another FPGA directly to the pins of the other, and have one very powerful FPGA? What would the latency be like?

That was a really through explanation! Also, really great analogy!

As I have learned from my last post (https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/can-you-make-an-fpga-run-sequential-code-and-general-purpose-computing-what-would-the-performance-be-like.3476679/), that FPGAs will not outperform any CPU in serial computing, then how will they perform against GPUs in...

I'm absolutely positive that this question (and the other questions I have in this "series") are not my homework. Trust me.

Nah, I don't get these questions for homework.
