Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for implementing system irritator accelerator field programmable gate array (FPGA) Units (AFUs) residing behind a Coherent Attached Processors Interface (CAPI) unit in a computer system. An AFU is implemented in an FPGA residing behind the CAPI unit, the AFU includes a system irritator accelerator. A processor configures the AFU and enables the AFU system irritator to execute. The AFU system irritator is replicated to create additional irritation and is re-programmable.
