BittWare 520N-MX FPGA Accelerator Card

BittWare 520N-MX FPGA Accelerator Card features Intel’s Stratix 10 MX2100 FPGA with integrated HBM2 memory. The 520N-MX FPGA Accelerator Card offers an HBM2 with 16GB at up to 512GB/s, allowing for the acceleration of memory-bound applications.

The BittWare 520N-MX board 100G QSFP28s are ideal for clustering, and OCuLink connectors allow expansion. The device supports both traditional HDL and higher abstraction C, C++, and OpenCL-based tool flows. The 520N-MX features a Board Management Controller (BMC) for advanced system monitoring and control, which streamlines platform integration and management.
