We achieved this by building a FPGA based device driver logic which is capable of exploiting PCI-e point to point communication. FPGA H/W design support such as C based High Level Synthesis tools enabled us to implement complex device drivers within FPGAs. Our design avoids re-implementing the performance and stability of existing ASIC based commodity I/O devices, already installed in our systems, thus reducing data plane implementation costs.
