EETimes has the lowdown on the first two companies to offer Opteron FPGA co-processors on the Torrenza platform. Both companies' co-processors are dynamically configurable to suit whichever algorithms need more attention from the system.

"Both the DRC and XtremeData solutions are modules that combine an FPGA with static RAM, flash memory (XtremeData only), and interface logic to support 8- or 16-bit HyperTransport interfaces."
