CNP 2.0 Key Features:

• True scalability – True FPGA system with ultra high bandwidth inter-FPGA and inter-module communication implies true scalability, i.e., performance increases linearly with the number of modules.
• Functional transparency – Efficient development tools let the user treat the whole FPGA cluster as one giant FPGA.
• Code for communication and partitioning is added automatically.
• Flexible development – The code for the algorithm blocks can be developed in any design entry tool like Celoxica, Impulse C or directly in VHDL.
• Innovative architecture – The chassis-based, modular design with flexible input/output configurations facilitates very small physical size with several hundreds of FPGAs.

Smooth Development Environment
The system provides a convenient software environment, similar to traditional computer systems. The available tools make the entire cluster of FPGAs behave more or less like one giant FPGA, thus simplifying the programming and allowing the user to concentrate on the algorithms. All code needed for the communication infrastructure, between algorithm blocks as well as external interfaces and host systems, is automatically added.

The FPGA partitioning is performed semi-automatically, thereby drastically reducing the time for code partitioning and re-partitioning.
