LMS ÜberNIC | NIC Cards Leveraging PCIe 5.0 + CXL

Fully Hardware-Accelerated Network Stack

First Use Case Targets Financial Services Industry (FSI)

The First FPGA-Powered CXL NIC

PCIe 5.0 + CXL

Liquid-Markets-Solutions (LMS) have done something unique: moved the full network stack into an FPGA. What’s even better is that FPGA is Agilex I-Series from Intel, with the groundbreaking performance of PCIe 5.0 + CXL.

Called ÜberNIC, this family of NIC cards is built on BittWare hardware for enterprise-class deployment in datacenters.

Game-Changing Performance for Fintech

ÜberNIC for Low-Latency Trading

Today's NICs Don't Stack Up for Market Trading

Fact: today’s market feeds regularly pass 850 Mb/s—the point at which even the best competitive NIC’s network stack begin to dramatically lose sufficient latency performance.

Enter ÜberNIC, the first commercially-available FPGA NIC with the entire network stack in accelerated hardware, allowing for consistent low latency—ready for today’s markets and the future.

Key Features at a Glance for Financial Services Industry (FSI)

Performance

Raw performance improvement that’s consistent through the critical peak market feed moments when you need it most!

Utility

More fiber pairs per card means getting more out of each server. Powerful enough for ancillary services like PCAP and timestamping on the same card.

Future Compatible

Support for latest PCIe 5.0, CXL, and link speeds up to 400G.

Foundation

100% Offload

By moving the complete network stack into FPGA hardware, the ÜberNIC achieves unmatched performance.

RFC & IEEE Compliant

Fiber Port Density Leader

Single-slot card supports up to 16× 10/25G fiber pairs

Multi-GB On-board Memory

Single-Slot, Compact Form Factor

Tap into the Power of Agilex^® 7

Central to the performance gains of ÜberNIC over competitors is the Intel Agilex 7 FPGA. This chip brings the core features like PCIe 5.0 and CXL—plus I/O giving double (or more) the port density of even top competitors.

Performance & Usability

Full RTT (95th percentile): Sub-Microsecond Latency

At its core, ÜberNIC is a low-latency focused NIC. With the combination of full hardware acceleration and low-latency PCIe transfers, you get unmatched performance—even during peak market times.

267% Higher Throughput Without Performance Loss

Highly Consistent; 95th Percentile Latency StDev 2.19%

Multi-GB DDR Buffer Ensures Lossless Reception

Plug & Play x86 I/O (BSD/POSIX; Raw Frame; Custom API)

Built on BittWare

BittWare brings enterprise-class products to market using the latest technology such as Agilex FPGAs. Today’s high-speed interfaces require significant care in the design and manufacturing process to make a reliable, high-quality product at scale.
