“…Since FiC is supposed to be used for time-critical jobs in MEC, this is essential. (2) The resources needed are fewer than those of a packet-switched network. This means that we can keep the resources of FPGA for applications.…”

“…Some FPGA supercomputers use a PCIe network for interconnection between FPGAs and GPUs [21], [22]. High-speed serial links of more than 40 Gbps are also used [2]- [4] between FPGA boards. Although a large bandwidth is provided, they required expensive optical cables, interface chips, and high-level board-implementation techniques.…”

“…Some multi-FPGA systems use extremely high-speed links of more than 40 Gbps [2]- [4], while FiC uses costefficient GTH serial links each of which supports 9.9-Gbps transfer speed. It provides 32 bi-directional lanes per board to maintain the total bandwidth.…”
