Virtex UltraScale+ HBM VCU128-ES1 FPGA Evaluation Kit
by: AMD
The VCU128 board incorporates the all new AMD VU37P HBM FPGA that utilizes stacked silicon interconnect to add HBM die next to the FPGA die on the package substrate.
Overview
Important Notice
This development kit has been discontinued and is no longer offered for sale. The solutions targeted for this product will not be updated moving forward with limited support available from AMD.
Product Description
The VCU128 board incorporates the all new AMD Virtex™ UltraScale+™ VU37P HBM FPGA that integrates 8GB of HBM DRAM adjacent to FPGA die to enable massive memory bandwidth and much smaller PCB footprint. Virtex UltraScale+ HBM FPGAs alleviate bandwidth bottlenecks and power consumption associated with using parallel memories, like DDR4, in compute, database, and network acceleration applications.
The VCU128 evaluation kit is optimized for quickly prototyping applications using Virtex UltraScale+ HBM FPGAs.
