PCI Express board based on Xilinx UltraScale FPGA introduced by BittWare for cyber security
CONCORD, N.H., 31 May 2016. BittWare Inc. in Concord, N.H., is introducing the XUSP3R 3/4-length PCI Express board for a wide range of data center and networking applications, including cyber security, network processing, compute acceleration, and storage.
The commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) is board based on the Xilinx UltraScale VU190 field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and offers as many as four Gen3 x8 PCI Express interfaces, along with four front panel QSFP28 cages, supporting 16 lanes of 25 gigabits per second or four lanes of 100 gigabits per second -- including 100 Gigabit Ethernet.
Four DIMM sockets support memory configurations including as much as 256 gigabytes of DDR4 memory across four 72-bit-wide banks; alternatively, designers can populate each of those DIMMs sockets with BittWare's dual-bank QDR DIMMs, each providing 576 megabits of QDR-II+.
An optional Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) module with as much as 4 gigabytes also is available which can be populated in addition to, and independent of, the DIMMs.
