Aldec’s New HES FPGA Accelerator Board Targets HPC, HFT and Prototyping Applications Plus Hits the ‘Price/Performance’ Sweet Spot
Summary
The HES-XCKU11P-DDR4 is a 1U form factor board featuring a Xilinx Kintex® UltraScale+™ FPGA, a PCIe interface and two QSFP-DD connectors (providing a total of up to 400 Gbit/s bandwidth), and which hits the ideal sweet spot between speed, logic cells, low power draw and price. “When developing this new FPGA accelerator board, our goal was to achieve an ideal compromise between performance, expandability and price, and thus help users rise to some of today’s most advanced computing and/or networking challenges using FPGA acceleration,” comments Zibi Zalewski, General Manager of Aldec’s Hardware Division. Zalewski concludes: “By combining the benefits of this cost-effective Xilinx FPGA with those of the other resources on our new HES board, we have not only created a compact and powerful product suitable for a variety of complex engineering applications, but also done so at an affordable price. We believe our HES-XCKU11P-DDR4 represents a unique and game-changing value proposition for FPGA compute acceleration along with network and storage applications.” Aldec offers a portfolio of versatile HES™ FPGA Accelerator boards based on the largest and industry leading FPGAs of the Xilinx® Virtex UltraScale+, UltraScale, Virtex-7 families and Microchip® PolarFire and SmartFusion2 families. The boards are architected to allow for easy expansion using standardized FMC and BPX daughter card connectors.
