Prodesign FALCON Agilex 7 M

prodesign FALCON Agilex® 7 M Acceleration Card

The FALCON Agilex 7 M acceleration card offers Altera® Agilex® 7 FPGA technology with high throughput HBM2e memory integration. The board is based on PCIe Gen5 x16 and offers three 400GE QSFP-DD front ports supporting 6x 200Gbit/s or 3x 400Gbit/s. Further, it offers four programmable SODIMM sockets and three high-speed NovaRay® connectors for connecting multiple memory modules or peripherals.

Supporting HDL, oneAPI, CXL flows.
