Sidewinder-100

作成者: Fidus Systems, Inc.

The Sidewinder-100 is a full height, ¾ length PCIe acceleration platform targeted at networked-storage for NVME SSD devices. With NVMe over Fabrics becoming a focus for many of today’s cutting edge datacenter interconnect technology, the Sidewinder platform is an ideal candidate for RDMA, RNIC, PCIE (Gen3 and Gen4), and NVMe IP development.

With the AMD Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC (ZU19EG) at the center of this platform, teams can leverage the quad-core ARM Cortex A53, dual core RPU ARM Cortex-R5, and Mali-400 MP2 GPU to perform line-rate operations such as compression, encryption, and deep packet inspection. Additionally, extremely low latency storage access is made possible with integrated interconnect IP such as Gen3 and Gen4 PCI Express, and a dual QSFP Interface capable of rates including 4x10GE, 4x25GE, or 100GE per interface.

For truly unique applications and IP developments, a PCIE compliant x8 root-complex expansion port is provided to interface with other boards.
