BittWare 250-U2 U.2 FPGA Accelerator Module

BittWare 250-U2 U.2 FPGA Accelerator Module features a Xilinx Kintex UltraScale+ FPGA directly coupled to local DDR4 memory. The fully programmable FPGA processor is designed for NVMe acceleration and conforms to the U.2 form factor. The 250-U2 U.2 FPGA module is energy-efficient, flexible, and intended to be deployed within conventional U.2 NVMe storage arrays. This allows for FPGA-accelerated instances of erasure coding, deduplication, compression, encryption, hashing, string/image search, database sort/join/filter, and machine learning inference. The BittWare 250-U2 module can be delivered as a ready-to-run, pre-configured solution featuring Eideticom's NoLoad® IP or be programmed by a user developing in-house capabilities. Users can mix and match storage and acceleration on the front-serviceable 250-U2, housed in a 1U chassis, permitting integration of storage units in the same server.
