Abstract: Hardware accelerated analytical computing apparatus, method and system includes one or more analytical processing units. Each processing unit is formed of a respective field programmable gate array (FPGA) and performs a respective analytical operation. An application interface enables use of respective desired ones of the analytical processing units by one or more computer application programs. Different computer application programs utilize different ones of the analytical processing units. Each computer application program performs a respective analytical computation. Alternatively, an application program may be programmed into one of the FPGA's.
