I'm trying to build an FPGA cluster for vector processing. I'm interested in the Genesys 2 board. According to the specification, it should be able to provide 10GbE access via the FMC interface by, .for example, adding another fibre transceiver board. So that I can run 10GbE for the inter-board communication.
However, apart from the theory, has anyone actually succeeded in getting a 10G link from the Genesys 2 FMC connector? or put it another word, has the transceiver channels in the FMC been tested to achieve the 10G performance? Please feel no offence, just there are list of reasons that a 10G link could fail and for many times I saw the high-end specifications came with small footprints to limit its availability. After all I do not want to end up with a pile of boards going no where.
