Overview
The V6061 is a next generation high-performance embedded computing 3U VPX module featuring the Xilinx® Versal® Adaptive System-on-Chip (ASoC), the NVIDIA® Mellanox® ConnectX®-5 (MC-X5) network interface device, rugged optical and electrical I/O, and SOSA™ aligned profile options. The V6061 is specifically targeted at applications requiring a combination of high- speed data interfaces, network protocol offloads, onboard processing resources, and optional data distribution to adjacent processing resources (CPUs/GPUs) in the system.
Applications and Use Cases
The V6061 is a proven high-bandwidth and low-latency performance leader in 10/25/40/50/100Gbs Ethernet applications. Use cases include sensor interfacing, data processing, data distribution, and FPGA co-processing applications. Radar, signals intelligence, electronic warfare, video, storage, medical imaging, and embedded communications systems all can benefit from the V6061 module. The V6061 includes hardware offloads for UDP, TCP, RoCE v2, DPDK, GPUDirect, NVMEoF, among many other protocol stacks, and excels at high-bandwidth interface applications where data can be processed locally and/or distributed efficiently across the VPX backplane.
The combination of the MC-X5 device and the ASoC device allows for system designers to leverage the off-the-shelf world-class Ethernet performance of the MC-X5 while deploying unique data processing and security algorithms in the onboard ASoC device. This combination maximizes the effectiveness of the deployed applications and algorithms while eliminating design efforts required to establish truly high-bandwidth and low-latency Ethernet, PCIe controllers, PCIe switches, efficient DMA engines, or low overhead software drivers.
In addition to the Ethernet interfaces described, the FPGA fabric provided within the ASoC part is capable of hosting New Wave Design IP cores for Fibre Channel, ARINC-818, sFPDP, Aurora, and others. This makes the V6061 an ideal hardware platform for mixed interface protocol needs or protocol bridging applications.
The V6061 is a standout sensor interface and heterogeneous computing solution whether used standalone or adjacent to other processing elements.
