LMS Demos PCIe 5.0 on Agilex-powered ÜberNIC at Intel Vision 2023

We’re glad to see Liquid-Markets-Solutions (LMS) demonstrating their ÜberNIC, the first PCIe 5.0 and CXL-capable NIC running at the Intel^® Vision 2023 event. Thanks to Micaela Whalen with Intel^® for posting a clip of ÜberNIC running and reporting this was “the only Intel Agilex-based demo at the show.”

Built on BittWare hardware, ÜberNIC has some impressive performance numbers thanks to moving the entire network stack into the FPGA. We’ve got more details on the ÜberNIC product page.

It’s worth noting that for the demo, LMS also uses another BittWare card to run their Naros.TaSR testing and simulation solution. This can profile network-attached devices and systems, making Naros.TaSR ideally suited to quantify latency and throughput capabilities of various solutions. Both the Naros.TaSR and ÜberNIC cards were build by BittWare and feature Intel^® Agilex^® 7 FPGAs.

1,000 HD Feeds in a 1U Server: Arkona & Manifold Launch manifold CLOUD

TeraBox 1400B series servers and 520N-MX cards are offered for Manifold CLOUD.

Solution Leverages BittWare Hardware for Tier-1 Live Broadcast Infrastructure

Today’s broadcast video productions can involve a vast number of inputs (think e-gaming tournaments with hundreds of screens), outputs, and conversions. Improving the status quo for the video infrastructure side of these live events comes down to versatility and efficiency—and there’s a new approach that follows how datacenters have moved to a software-defined approach for web services.

It’s called manifold CLOUD, and BittWare is delighted to be a hardware provider for this exciting new solution for tier-1 live production. We’ll be providing more details on this exciting new solution soon!

Ready to learn more? arkona and Manifold are at NAB this week, including a live demo of manifold CLOUD on BittWare hardware. Come by booth C4345 to learn more or reach out to arkona or Manifold on their websites.

Start Your Next SmartNIC Project with This

At BittWare, we’re big believers in saving customer’s development time through off-the-shelf IP that lets them focus on their unique application. We’re pleased to introduce a free, open-source, 100G NIC “starter” IP in Corundum, with support for our AMD- (formerly Xilinx) and Intel-based FPGA boards. Corundum is 100% open-source Verilog.

Not only free, but Corundum can also be used in commercial projects, and includes an excellent feature set as a starter for building a SmartNIC. Learn more about Corundum on the product page and get started accelerating your network packet processing projects today!
