Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To support encyclopedic discussion of this work in this article. The illustration is specifically needed to support the following point(s):

This is to show how multiprocessing using dedicated FPGA can beat general purposes processor. It gives the user a visual insight of the machinery and electronics needed to very rapidly cracking encryption schemes deemed to be unbreakable

Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) This is visually helpful because you can see the hardware involved in creating super fast encryption breaking machines. Text can only tell how fast the machine is but the board picture more vividly depicts the work horse behind this superfast machine
