This doesn't look anything like a FPGA to me, just a lot of custom CPUs.
I doubt it can perform any better than other CPUs, either.
I'm not aware of anyone putting the effort into running a miner on it.

There are lots of these kind of co-processor boards made by different (usually small) companies that deliver ~1TFLOPS / OPS but I am yet to see anyone write software to run them for mining.

You should flog it in eBay and buy a 7950 or ASIC miner :P
