Abstract

A co-processor module for accelerating computational performance includes a Field Programmable Gate Array ('FPGA') and a Programmable Logic Device ('PLD') coupled to the FPGA and configured to control start-up configuration of the FPGA. A non-volatile memory is coupled to the PLD and configured to store a start-up bitstream for the start-up configuration of the FPGA. A mechanical and electrical interface is for being plugged into a microprocessor socket of a motherboard for direct communication with at least one microprocessor capable of being coupled to the motherboard. After completion of a start-up cycle, the FPGA is configured for direct communication with the at least one microprocessor via a microprocessor bus to which the microprocessor socket is coupled.
