Go up one level in this thread


Didn't mean to upset you.  I thought Hydra ran on a regular x86 based machine,
but what made it special was that it used custom FPGA boards for evaluation.

If that's so, then running on the main machine requires no code change.. and if
there was an API to access the FPGA boards then you could use that to interface
with them.

I dont think my comment was to farfetched.
