Intel Adds to Portfolio of FPGA Programmable Acceleration Cards to Speed Up Data Center Computing
September 25 2018 - 10:00AM
Business Wire
What’s New: Intel today extended its field programmable
gate array (FPGA) acceleration platform portfolio with the addition
of the new Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card (PAC) with Intel®
Stratix® 10 SX FPGA, Intel’s most powerful FPGA. This
high-bandwidth card leverages the Acceleration Stack for Intel®
Xeon® CPU with FPGAs, providing data center developers a robust
platform to deploy FPGA-based accelerated workloads. Hewlett
Packard Enterprise* will be the first OEM to incorporate the Intel
PAC with Stratix 10 SX FPGA along with the Intel Acceleration Stack
for Intel Xeon Scalable processor with FPGAs into its server
offering.

“We’re seeing a growing market for FPGA-based
accelerators, and with Intel’s new FPGA solution, more developers –
no matter their expertise – can adopt the tool and benefit from
workload acceleration. We plan to use the Intel Stratix 10 PAC and
acceleration stack in our offerings to enable customers to easily
manage complex, emerging workloads.”-- Bill Mannel, vice president
and general manager, HPC and AI Group, HPE
What It Does: Like the previously announced Intel PAC
with Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA, this new Intel PAC with Stratix 10 SX
FPGA supports an ecosystem of design partners that delivers IP to
accelerate a wide range of application workloads. The Intel PAC
with Stratix 10 SX FPGA is a larger form factor card built for
inline processing and memory-intensive workloads, like streaming
analytics and video transcoding. While the smaller form factor
Intel PAC with Arria 10 FPGA is ideal for backtesting, data base
acceleration and image processing workloads.
Why It’s Important: As the demands for big data and
artificial intelligence (AI) increase, the reprogrammable
technology of the FPGA meets the processing requirements and
changing workloads of data center applications. With reconfigurable
logic, memory and digital signal processing blocks, FPGAs can be
programmed to execute any type of function with high throughput and
real-time performance, making them ideal for many critical
enterprise and cloud applications.
The acceleration stack for Intel Xeon CPU with Intel FPGAs works
with industry-leading OS, virtualization and orchestration software
partners, providing a common interface for software developers to
get faster time to revenue, simplified management and access to a
growing ecosystem of acceleration workloads.
What the Solution Includes:
- Intel-validated Intel Programmable
Acceleration Card (PAC) with Intel Stratix 10 SX FPGA.
- Production-grade FPGA Interface Manager
(FIM) to which Intel and partner AFUs are connected.
- Acceleration Stack for Intel Xeon CPU
with FPGAs, including a common set of APIs and open-source drivers
that work seamlessly with industry-leading OS, virtualization and
orchestration software across the portfolio of Intel programmable
acceleration cards.
- Support for native, network-attached
workloads; initial partners including Adaptive Microware* and Megh
Computing*, with more to come.
- Workloads available through
acceleration workload storefront for ease of evaluation.

The Small Print: Intel technologies’ features and
benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled
hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies
depending on system configuration. No computer system can be
absolutely secure. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer
