In-Booth Demonstrations by Xilinx and its Alliance Members:

Key Value Store Application Acceleration — Leveraging the Alpha Data ADM-PCIE-7V3 board, this demonstration is a broadly applicable key value store workload acceleration engine (i.e. Memcached and NoSQL) that delivers significant performance/watt acceleration at substantially lower latency.

NVMe Flash Storage Platform Featuring a Kintex-7 FPGA — This demonstration is an NVMe-based flash storage solution running on a Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA development platform. The solution showcases a fully compliant NVMe spec 1.1 interface.

Low Latency 25G/50G Ethernet MAC Connectivity Solution — This demonstration utilizes two Virtex UltraScale VCU107 boards communicating over four channels of 25G Ethernet through 5 meters of direct attached copper cable and two QSFP+ modules. The low latency 25GE MAC supports the 25G Ethernet Consortium specification.

Low Latency TOE for Network Acceleration from Alliance Member Intilop — Demonstration features Intilop’s 16 to 16,394 Simultaneous Connections TCP & UDP Offload Engine (TOE & UOE) and 10G MAC soft IP core running on the Alpha Data ADM-PCIE-7V3 card.

Software Defined Development Environment for OpenCL — Demonstration of Xilinx’s software defined development environment enabling the compilation of OpenCL applications into binaries ready for execution on FPGA devices using a standard programming environment.

Software Defined Development Environment for Xilinx Virtex-7 Devices — Demonstration of OpenCL applications featuring the Alpha-Data ADM-PCIE-7V3 board based on the All Programmable Virtex-7 FPGA for the highest performance at the lowest possible power envelope.

Software Defined Development Environment for Kintex-7 Devices — Demonstration featuring the Pico Computing M505-K325T acceleration board based on the All Programmable Kintex-7 FPGA, delivering unparalleled fanless performance for under 20W.
