BittWare XUP-VVH FPGA Accelerator Card

BittWare XUP-VVH FPGA Accelerator Card features the UltraScale+ VU37P FPGA. The XUP-VVH FPGA Accelerator Card is ideal for high-density data center applications that demand high memory bandwidth. The UltraScale+ FPGA guides these applications to avoid I/O bottlenecks using integrated High Bandwidth Memory (HBM2) tiles on the FPGA that support up to 8GB of memory at 460GB/sec. The UltraScale+ VU37P offers up to 2.8 million logic elements, which gives designers incredible performance potential.

The BittWare XUP-VVH FPGA Accelerator Card offers BittWare’s Viper platform, supporting large FPGA loads, up to 256GB DDR4, and 4x 100 Gbps Ethernet. This allows the device to meet the challenge of thermal management.

BittWare’s Viper platform uses advanced computer flow simulation to drive the physical board design in a thermals first approach. This includes the use of heat pipes, airflow channels, and arranging components to maximize the limited available airflow in a server. The Viper boards offer the option of active cooling and are passive by default.
