Abstract(in English) The trade-off between power efficiency and performance is important in large-scale computing systems like a datacenter. Multi-FPGA system which is consisted of FPGAs connected by direct serial links has scalability and is able to realize high performance by low power. In this research, we developed and implemented a packet-switching router on Multi-FPGA System, FiC(Flow-in-Cloud). This system consists of middle-range FPGAs. We evaluated the communication performance of the packet-switching router on FiC system and compared the performance between this router and STDM-Switch which is operated on the current FiC system. In conclusion, We confirm that the packet-switching router is better than STDM-Switch which has more than 2 time slots. Moreover, we observed 24 FPGAs FiC system using packet-switch router performs 1.73 times faster than the same system using STDM-Switch in conjugate gradient method execution in a matrix of 384 by 384.
