Overview
BittWare’s XUP-PL4 is a low-profile PCIe x16 card based on the AMD Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA. The UltraScale+ devices deliver high-performance, high-bandwidth, and reduced latency for systems demanding massive data flow and packet processing. The board offers up to 32 GBytes of memory, sophisticated clocking and timing options, and two front panel QSFP cages, each supporting up to 100 Gbps (4×25) – including 100GbE.
The XUP-PL4 also incorporates a Board Management Controller (BMC) for advanced system monitoring, which greatly simplifies platform integration and management. All of these features combine to make the XUP-PL4 ideal for a wide range of data center applications, including network processing and security, acceleration, storage, broadcast, and SigInt.
