The PCIe-280™ accelerator card provides a powerful PCI Express computing platform for FPGA development and deployment across a range of application areas including signal intelligence, decryption and algorithm acceleration.
Customers deploying the PCIe-280 can increase application performance by harnessing up to 5GByte/sec of sustained host bandwidth. The PCIe-280 features an onboard Xilinx Virtex-5 user FPGA directly coupled to a high bandwidth, flexible memory configuration that includes ECC and parity protection.
Two independent banks of QDR-II SRAM provide 8GBytes/sec of sustained, random access memory bandwidth. Up to two independent banks of DDR2 SDRAM memory provide 4GBytes/sec of deep storage local to the user FPGAs.
Thirty-two high speed serial I/O links are exposed at the top of the card allowing multiple PCIe-280 cards to be interconnected via low latency point-to-point links. These deterministic datapaths are independent of the PCI Express bus and host operating system - an ideal way of scaling applications.
The PCIe-280 is compatible with high density server and blade centre platforms from leading OEMs such as Cray, Dell, HP, IBM, SGI and Supermicro. Optimized VHDL memory controller IP cores and reference designs are included as part of the standard product deliverables along with driver and API source code for 64-bit Linux operating systems.
