New computational acceleration boards funded by Micro-Stress MAP

Two new FPGA boards have been acquired to accelerate the computation and training of the models of their projects. The boards have been financed with a grant from the Micro-Stress-MAP CM project, from the Community of Madrid and the European Social Fund. Specifically, a Xilinx Alveo U280 and a Xilinx Alveo U250 board have been purchased.
