Overview
BittWare’s 250-U2 is a Computational Storage Processor conforming to the U.2 form factor. It features an AMD Kintex UltraScale+ FPGA directly coupled to local DDR4 memory. This energy-efficient, flexible compute node is intended to be deployed within conventional U.2 NVMe storage arrays (approximately 1:8 ratio) allowing FPGA-accelerated instances of:
- Erasure Coding and Deduplication
- Compression, Encryption & Hashing
- String/Image Search and Database Sort/ Join/Filter
- Machine Learning Inference
The 250-U2 can be wholly programmed by customers developing in-house capabilities or delivered as a ready-to-run pre-configured solution featuring Eideticom’s NoLoad® IP. The 250-U2 is front-serviceable in a 1U chassis and can be mixed in with storage units in the same server, allowing users to mix-and-match storage and acceleration.
