Obsolete Product Notice:
This is an obsolete product and is no longer available for purchase. Contact BittWare for a recommended newer product.
Overview
The BittWare 250-M2D is an FPGA-based Computational Storage Processor (CSP) designed to meet the draft M.2 Accelerator Module Hardware Specification standard*. It is intended to operate in Glacier Point carrier cards for Yosemite servers. These feature-rich, dense servers are favored by hyperscale and cloud companies striving to improve the performance density and energy-efficiency of machine learning platforms.
The 250-M2D product features a Xilinx Kintex® UltraScale+ FPGA directly coupled to two banks of local DDR4 memory. Customers can either develop their own acceleration applications in HDL, or take advantage of pre-programmed accelerator solutions featuring IP from BittWare partner companies.
