Overview

BittWare’s XUP-P3R is a 3/4-length 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 extensive memory configurations supporting up to 512 GBytes of memory, sophisticated clocking and timing options, and four front panel QSFP cages, each supporting up to 100 Gbps (4×25) – including 100GbE.

The XUP-P3R 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-P3R ideal for a wide range of data center applications, including network processing and security, acceleration, storage, broadcast, and SigInt.

Key Features

4x 100GbE via 4 QSFP28

Up to 512 GBytes DDR4

Up to VU9P: 2.5 million LCs FPGA by AMD

SEP Modules

BittWare's exclusive SEP (serial expansion port) allows the XUP-P3R to be expanded for an additional PCIe Gen3 x16 slot, additional 4 QSFPs, or connection between two XUP-P3Rs.

8x 12G-SDI video

This add-on card has several SFP cages which are electrically designed for SDI SFP Video modules. This allowed the customer to quickly build a proof-of-concept appliance for capturing video to the large VU9P FPGA.

Additional PCIe x16 interface

Many FPGAs have more PCIe connectivity than is possible with the main card’s edge fingers, so in this case an additional slot brings a second PCIe Gen3 x16 interface.

Additional 4x QSFP28

For some customers, adding proprietary interfaces is a critical design component. We designed the daughtercard to quickly get the customer to market with eight QSFP28s per FPGA.

Active and Passive Cooling Options

In addition to standard active fan and heatsink cooling, the XUPP3R offers two passive options, standard and our new advanced passive cooling using heat pipes.
