Description

The XD2000i™ extends XtremeData's lead in FPGA-based in-socket accelerators (ISA). Featuring three of Altera's Stratix® III field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), the XD2000i promises greatly accelerated performance in data mining, financial analytics, video transcoding, medical imaging, scientific computing, network security, and many other applications. The Stratix® III's low power consumption allows highly efficient processor packaging, enabling huge gains in application performance without massive investments in server hardware and related infrastructure. The XD2000i plugs directly into the Intel front-side bus (FSB) socket of any Xeon DP system. Hardware integration is as simple as pulling one of the Xeon chips and inserting the pin-compatible XD2000i.
