Abstract :
Virtual computing is an entirely new form of supercomputing that allows an algorithm to be implemented in hardware. Based on the Xilinx FPGA and ICube´s FPID the Virtual Computer is completely reconfigurable in every respect. Computing machines based on reconfigurable logic are hyper-scalable meaning they scale up better than 1-1
