Accelerator card swerves memory bottlenecks

The Alveo V80 accelerator card features a powerful AMD Versal HBM adaptive system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates faster high-bandwidth memory (HBM2e DRAM) to overcome memory bottlenecks in high-performance compute (HPC)-applications like genomic sequencing, molecular dynamics, data analytics, network security, sensor processing, computational storage and fintech.

This accelerator card is based on the 7nm Versal adaptive SoC architecture, powered by an AMD Versal high-bandwidth memory (HBM) device, delivering 820 GB/s with 4x200G networking, and PCIe Gen4 and Gen5 interfaces.

It features DDR4 DIMM slots for memory expansion, and Mini-Cool Edge I/O (MCIO) connectors to scale across compute and storage nodes at PCIe Gen5 speeds.

The AMD Alveo V80 accelerator is also suitable for fintech and blockchain workloads demanding massive parallelism and involving large data sets like algorithmic trading back-testing, option pricing, and Web3 blockchain cryptography.

The accelerator card supports custom data types with the capability for 100s of nodes with built-in cryptographic engines and adaptable hardware that is also ideal for firewall and custom packet monitoring while offering the highest logic density, network throughput and memory bandwidth in the AMD Alveo portfolio.
