An FPGA DMA card is a specialized hardware device that combines a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with a Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine. It is designed to facilitate high-speed, efficient data transfers directly between system memory and external peripherals without heavily relying on the CPU. This offloading of data movement tasks minimizes latency and maximizes throughput, making the card ideal for applications such as high-performance computing, real-time video processing, data acquisition, and networking.
