BittWare, a Molex company, has collaborated with Achronix Semiconductor to introduce the S7t-VG6 PCIe accelerator product—a feature-rich PCIe card sporting the new Achronix 7nm Speedster7t FPGA.
This next generation product offers a range of breakthrough capabilities including low-cost and highly flexible GDDR6 memories that offer HBM-class memory bandwidth, high-performance machine learning processors and a revolutionary 2D network-on-chip for high bandwidth and energy-efficient data movement.
The S7t-VG6 offers a 7nm Achronix FPGA that is optimized for high-speed networking and fast, high-capacity memory access. Featuring a QSFP-DD (double-density) cage, the board supports up to 1x 400GbE or 4x 100GbE using the 56G PAM4-enabled Speedster 7t device.
An additional QSFP port supports 2x 100GbE, and a 4x OCuLink connector supports NVMe attached storage. Sixteen channels of GDDR6 graphics DRAM handle high-bandwidth memory requirements, providing up to 512GB/s.
The BittWare VectorPath accelerator card is designed for high-performance and high-bandwidth data applications and features 1x400GbE and 2x100GbE interfaces; 8 banks of GDDR6 memory with 4 Tbps aggregate bandwidth; 20 Tbps 2D Network-on-Chip (NoC); 1 bank of DDR4 running at 2666MHz with ECC; PCIe compliance and certification; and 692K 6-input LUTs.
This enterprise-class product leverages BittWare’s extensive experience designing, qualifying, deploying and supporting accelerator cards. Its features include choice of thermal cooling options: passive, active or liquid; comprehensive Board Management Controller (BMC); support for Linux and Windows operating systems; developer toolkit: API, PCIe drivers, application example designs and diagnostic self-test; and option to purchase the S7t pre-integrated as a DELL or HPE server from BittWare TeraBox range.
The initial S7t-VG6 shipments are scheduled to begin by the second quarter of next year.
