An accelerator based on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology accelerates double-precision floating-point operations present in the energy calculation of Monte Carlo–Metropolis simulations. The accelerator uses COTS components and is scalable in terms of clock frequency, memory capability, and number of computing units. It could also be part of a cluster of accelerated workstations.
