XD2000F™ FPGA IN-SOCKET ACCELERATOR for AMD SOCKET F PDF Print E-mail

Description

The XD2000F™ brings high performance computing (HPC) to AMD's Socket F architecture. Employing two of Altera's Stratix® II field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), the XD2000F™ delivers greatly accelerated performance in data mining, financial analytics, video transcoding, medical imaging, scientific computing, network security, and many other applications. One FPGA performs application processing while the other serves as a data bridge to multiple HyperTransport links on the motherboard, enabling huge gains in application performance without massive investments in server hardware and related infrastructure. The XD2000F™ plugs directly into the AMD Socket F and fits within the AMD-specified retention frame. Hardware integration is as simple as pulling one of the Opteron™ chips and inserting the pin-compatible XD2000F™.
