Only to the same extent that any other co-processor add-in card can do stuff that's not observable by the CPU. Your CPU's RAM is managed by the CPU's memory controller hardware, and that memory controller does not give software the ability to issue individual DRAM commands like precharge. This research uses a memory controller implemented on a FPGA, talking to its own pool of RAM.
