FPGA Cards
The TeraBox 1400DN supports up to four dual-slot BittWare PCIe FPGA cards. Choose from a variety of cards based on the Speedster 7t, Stratix 10, or UltraScale+ FPGAs. System specs will vary greatly, depending on the FPGA card you select. For example, with four BittWare UltraScale+ PCIe cards, which support up to 512 Gbytes of DDR4 per card, the chassis can support as much as 2 Terabytes of DDR4 on the FPGA cards in 16 banks. With four Stratix 10 cards, each chassis supports 10 million logic elements.
Dell EMC C4140 1U Server
Dell’s C4140 rackmount 1U server featuring dual Intel Skylake processors is the ideal platform to unleash the energy-efficient acceleration of BittWare’s FPGA cards. This FPGA-optimized 1U server delivers unrivaled performance density and value for a range of compute-intensive applications, including machine learning.
The TeraBox Advantage
Choosing a TeraBox FPGA server means knowing you are getting a pre-configured and tested solution. This includes setup and installation of your FPGA cards and associated hardware, your choice of operating system, and development tools. Your TeraBox arrives ready for use—giving your team more time for development and deployment.
