» FPGA accelerator cards

The HPC-3U can host up to 5 TRETO boards and up to 2 MEMO boards, interconnected together through high-speed SerialLiteII links. The system's custom power management unit provides staggered power to each board and controls the BIOS enumeration process to ensure smooth detection of each FPGA board.

» Deliverables

  • HPC-3U system with Linux 64-bit installed
  • 5x MEMO + 2x TRETO boards, or any other configuration of MEMO/TRETO as supported in the chassis
    • As many SerialLiteII cables required for board to board connection
  • Test & configuration software
    • Enables FPGA configuration Flash programming over PCIe
    • Enables user FPGA programming over PCIe (TRETO board)
    • Enables FPGA boards monitoring (temperature, voltage) and functional testing
  • Monitoring Web server application
    • Enables remote boards supervision (temperature, voltage)
