Catalog excerpts

BittWare a molex company UltraScale+ on U.2 Form Factor with PCIe Gen4 FPGA-Based Computational Storage Processor for NVME Acceleration BittWare's 254-U2 is a Computational Storage Processor conforming to the U.2 form factor. Ideal for NVMe acceleration, it features a Xilinx Kintex UltraScale+ FPGA supporting PCIe Gen4 directly coupled to local DDR4 memory. This energy-efficient, flexible compute node is intended to be deployed within conventional U.2 NVMe storage arrays (approximately 1:8 ratio) allowing FPGA-accelerated instances of: • Erasure Coding and Deduplication • Compression, Encryption & Hashing • String/Image Search and Database Sort/ Join/Filter • Machine Learning Inference The 254-U2 can be wholly programmed by customers developing in-house capabilities or delivered as a ready-to-run pre-configured solution featuring Eideticom's NoLoad® IP. The 254-U2 is front-serviceable in a 1U chassis and can be mixed in with storage units in the same server, allowing users to mix-and-match storage and acceleration. PCIe Gen4 SupportUp to 16 GBytes DDR4 Order your 254-U2 pre-configured with Eideticom's NoLoad: • Plug-and-play solution • NVMe compatible and standards-based with no OS changes • Reduced TCO/TCA - lower power and reduced IO • CPU offload improves QoS up to 40x • Disaggregates compute and storage into independently scalable resources • CPU agnostic • Reconfigurable accelerators, enabling scalable compute architectures Learn more at www.eideticom.com
