N2 - Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) are widely used in many high-performance computing applications. However, contemporary processors generally provide limited throughput for these kinds of calculations. A high-performance hardware accelerator has been developed for speeding-up the solution of ODEs. The hardware accelerator has been developed both for single and double floating-point precision types and a design-space exploration has been performed in terms of performance and hardware resources. The hardware accelerator has been mapped to an FPGA board and connected through PCIe to a typical processor. The performance evaluation shows that the proposed scheme can achieve up to 14x speedup compared to a reference, single-core CPU solution.
