Good Morning All,<br><br>I need to implement a Cluster which in each PC there will be a FPGA connected to the PCIe slot. All of this to make possible to multiply dense matrices. Is that possible using PETSc?<br></blockquote>
<div><br>1) I have never seen great performance from FPGAs (with the possible exception of GRAPE).
