WILDSTAR UltraKV HPC for PCIe – WBPXU2
Up to two identical Xilinx® Kintex or Virtex UltraScale FPGAs with choice of Kintex™ UltraScale KU085 or KU115 or Virtex™ UltraScale VU125 FPGAs. Up to 80 GB of DDR4 DRAM for up to 116 GB/s of DRAM bandwidth. Up to 2.5 million logic cells and 5.4 million multiplier bits per board.

These FPGA boards include two Xilinx® Kintex UltraScale or Virtex™ UltraScale FPGAs with High Speed Serial connections performing up to 25+ Gbps. On each Compute Processing Element (CPE) FPGA there are two 48-bit and 80-bit DDR4 DRAM interfaces clocked up to 1200 MHz.
There is also an on-board dual ARM CPU running up to 766 MHz which can be used for local application requirements without using PCIe bandwidth. It is accessible over PCIe and also has dedicated AXI interfaces to all FPGAs. There is an RJ45 Ethernet port and UART for ease of application development. The on-board CPU can also utilize the PCIe bus back to host CPU for Ethernet and control.
There are 4 QSFP28s for external IO, each capable of 40GbE with Kintex parts or 100GbE with Virtex parts.
PCIe boards connect to the host system via a Gen 3 PCI Express switch which provides a x16 interface to the host (up to 16 GB/s) and x8 Gen3 interfaces to each FPGA (up to 8 GB/s). There is also plenty of on-board inter-FPGA HSS connections for data movement.
To ensure safe and reliable processing, WILDSTAR UltraK for PCIe boards come equipped with a proactive thermal management system. Sensors across the board monitor power and temperature, with automatic shutdown capability to prevent excessive heat buildup. WILDSTAR UltraK for PCIe boards are built with a rugged, durable design.
