Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A reconfigurable server, comprising:
main memory;
a processor module with a processor array, the processor array connected to the main memory and having a plurality of peripheral interconnect channels supporting a first communication protocol that is serial and a plurality of high data rate capable channels supporting a second communication protocol different than the first communication protocol;
a near-memory accelerator module connected to one of the high data rate capable channels, the near-memory accelerator module having a programmable logic device (PLD) that is a field programmable gate array (FPGA), wherein the PLD is connected to one of the high data rate capable channels and the PLD is connected to a peripheral interconnect switch with a predetermined number of interconnect lanes, the peripheral interconnect switch connected to a near-memory module with the predetermined number of interconnect lanes,
wherein a bandwidth between the PLD and the near-memory module is only within ten percent of a bandwidth between the PLD and the processor array.
