  Computational grids typically consist of nodes utilizing ordinary processors
such as the Intel Pentium. Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are able to
perform certain compute-intensive tasks very well due to their inherent
parallel architecture, often resulting in orders of magnitude speedups. This
paper explores how FPGAs can be transparently exposed for remote use via grid
services, by integrating the Proteus Software Platform with the Globus Toolkit
3.0.
