    [SOLVED] Can you use a Raspberry Pi Zero to offload x86 to RISC processing and what performance would that yield?

    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...

    [SOLVED] How good is the scaling of multi-FPGAs?

    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?

    [SOLVED] Can an FPGA outperform a GPU in Graphics computing?

    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...

    [SOLVED] Can you make an FPGA run sequential code and general purpose computing? What would the performance be like?

    Despite FPGAs taking a longer time to code than with a normal CPU, can you still run sequential code/general purpose computes on it (essentially turning it into a normal CPU)? Also, how would the performance be like (Instructions Per Second, Flops of power, etc) and how would it compare to a...
