DIMMnet-2: A Reconfigurable Board Connected Into a Memory Slot

DIMMnet-2 is a reconfigurable board which can be connected into the DDR SDRAM memory slot of a common PC. It has two DDR SO-DIMM on-board memory and high speed InifiniBand interface. By using them, DIMMnet-2 enables various types of flexible co-processing with the host processor. The overview of DIMMnet-2 is shown as well as two case studies: an intelligent memory access control and an intelligent network interconnect.
