Intel Unveils Industry’s First FPGA Integrated with High Bandwidth Memory Built for Acceleration
December 18 2017 - 11:00AM
Business Wire
Intel today announced the availability of the Intel® Stratix® 10
MX FPGA, the industry’s first field programmable gate array (FPGA)
with integrated High Bandwidth Memory DRAM (HBM2). By integrating
the FPGA and the HBM2, Intel Stratix 10 MX FPGAs offer up to 10
times the memory bandwidth when compared with standalone DDR memory
solutions1. These bandwidth capabilities make Intel Stratix 10 MX
FPGAs the essential multi-function accelerators for
high-performance computing (HPC), data centers, network functions
virtualization (NFV), and broadcast applications that require
hardware accelerators to speed-up mass data movements and stream
data pipeline frameworks.

In HPC environments, the ability to compress and decompress data
before or after mass data movements is paramount. HBM2-based FPGAs
can compress and accelerate larger data movements compared with
stand-alone FPGAs. With High Performance Data Analytics (HPDA)
environments, streaming data pipeline frameworks like Apache* Kafka
and Apache* Spark Streaming require real-time hardware
acceleration. Intel Stratix 10 MX FPGAs can simultaneously
read/write data and encrypt/decrypt data in real-time without
burdening the host CPU resources.

“To efficiently accelerate these workloads, memory bandwidth
needs to keep pace with the explosion in data,” said Reynette Au,
vice president of marketing, Intel Programmable Solutions Group.
“We designed the Intel Stratix 10 MX family to provide a new class
of FPGA-based multi-function data accelerators for HPC and HPDA
markets.”
The Intel Stratix 10 MX FPGA family provides a maximum memory
bandwidth of 512 gigabytes per second with the integrated HBM2.
HBM2 vertically stacks DRAM layers using silicon via (TSV)
technology. These DRAM layers sit on a base layer that connects to
the FPGA using high density micro bumps. The Intel Stratix 10 MX
FPGA family utilizes Intel’s Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge
(EMIB) that speeds communication between FPGA fabric and the DRAM.
EMIB works to efficiently integrate HBM2 with a high-performance
monolithic FPGA fabric, solving the memory bandwidth bottleneck in
a power-efficient manner.
Intel is shipping several Intel Stratix 10 FPGA family variants,
including the Intel Stratix 10 GX FPGAs (with 28G transceivers) and
the Intel Stratix 10 SX FPGAs (with embedded quad-core ARM
processor). The Intel Stratix 10 FPGA family utilizes Intel’s 14 nm
FinFET manufacturing process and incorporates state-of-the-art
packaging technology, including EMIB.
