+Motivation/Problem
+
+Current generation GPUs are capable of processing several TFLOP/s which causes
+I/O bottlenecks in applications with large bandwidth and low computational
+requirements. Moreover, applications that process data from external sources
+such as a frontend FPGA are affected twice by this problem because data first
+has to be transferred into main system memory via CPU transfers before being
+moved to the GPU for final operation in a second transfer.
+
+Method/solution
+
+To remedy this problem, we designed and implemented a system architecture
+comprising a custom FPGA board with a flexible DMA transfer policy and a
+heterogeneous compute framework receiving data using AMD's DirectGMA
+OpenCL extension.

+Conclusion
+
+With our proposed system architecture we are able to sustain the bandwidth
+requirements of various applications such as real-time tomographic image
+reconstruction and signal analysis with a peak FPGA-GPU throughput of XXX GB/s.
