What benefit is provided by connecting FPGA cards to POWER8 via CAPI instead of
connecting FPGA cards to x86 via PCIe?
A.
There is no overhead from OS or drivers, providing improved response times and
increased throughput.
B.
FPGA card attached via CAPI on POWER8 comes pre-installed with specific drivers.
C.
The offload processor in CAPI speeds up I/O transfers from the FPGA card.
D.
FPGA cards can be installed in PCIe or PCI-X slots on POWER8.
C
“Allow accelerator plugged into a PCIe slot to access the processor bus using a low latency, high-speed protocol interface”
