Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 14, 2011
Pico Computing today announces the immediate availability of the EX-400 PCIe backplane. The EX-400, along with the recently released M-505, will be on display during the Supercomputing Conference being held in Seattle, WA, November 12th 18th 2011 (booth #2300).
The EX-400 PCIe backplane is a fully switched PCIe modular solution, providing x8 Gen2 interface to four M-501/505s or two M-503/504s FPGA modules. With a shorter form-factor than the existing EX-500, this new board can fit into any size chassis. Add multiple EX-400s to your system and build a scalable FPGA cluster.
The M-505 Module is the latest in Picos line of M-Series modular FPGA cards for High-Performance Computing and embedded applications. This board features the Xilinx Kintex-7 K325T FPGA. Based on their 28nm fabrication process, the Kintex-7 achieves a 2x price/performance improvement while consuming 50% less power than previous generation FPGAs. The M-505 has one DDR3 SODIMM for up to 4GB of local RAM, x8 Gen2 PCIe, and 128MB of configuration FLASH. There are 34 LVDS and 8 GTX transceivers available for user I/O.
