The XUP-VV8 offers a large Xilinx FPGA in a 3/4-length PCIe board featuring QSFP-DD (double-density) cages for maximum port density. Using the Virtex UltraScale+ VU13P or VU9P FPGA, the board supports up to 8x 100GbE or 32x 10/25GbE.
The FPGA provides large logic and memory resources—up to 3.8M logic cells and 455Mb embedded memory. The board also provides a jitter cleaner to support synchronous ethernet. The board can be configured as single width for users who don’t need external memory on the DIMMs.
Now available: Ultra low latency VU9P SCD 4821
Xilinx VU9P-3 Ultra-low Latency SCD 4821 FPGA
Ideal for HFT applications
Total transceiver latency (Rx + Tx) of 15.54ns, compared to 27.37ns for the standard VU9P part.
