As the Internet becomes more and more widespread, the power consumption associated with the Internet infrastructure grows rapidly, contributing to a significant increase in operational costs of service providers. The paper presents a proof of a concept solution consisting of an FPGA expansion card with a dedicated image processing accelerator, connected to a server via PCI Express interface. The use of a dedicated accelerator allows faster completion of the task performed by the server, resulting in over tenfold improvement in energy efficiency.
