Rapid development in area of network technologies and the bandwidthincrease to 1Gbps or 10Gbps puts more and more requirements to devices,that have to process or analyze a network traffic. The results fromnumerous research works show that the performance of conventionalprocessors is not sufficient for many applications. As an reasonablealternative the splitting of computation task between a processor andan acceleration card with FPGA chips is proposed. This paper describesthe basic scope of system architecture for rapid development of networkapplications based on the connection of a processor and an accelerationcard - NetCOPE. The proposed platform implements the parts common formost of applications such as I/O blocks, connection of an applicationacceleration core to a system bus and fast DMA transfers. Using theplatform a designer is concentrated on realization of the targetapplication only and can easily move its designs to differentdevelopment boards.
