Back to AMD / Xilinx

AMD / Xilinx Alveo™ UL3422 Accelerator - Coming Soon

AMD / Xilinx Alveo™ UL3422 Accelerator offers ultra-low latency networking and adaptable hardware, enabling nanosecond-speed trading strategies. The AMD Virtex™ UltraScale+™ VU2P FPGA powers the AMD / Xilinx Alveo UL3422 Accelerator. The accelerator features latency-optimized transceiver technology for fast trade execution and network I/O tick-to-trade latency. Its slim FHHL form factor allows for flexible deployment across various server configurations and supports traditional hardware design tools, development frameworks, and ecosystem IP.

Features

  • Purpose-built for ultra-low latency (ULL) performance
  • Custom FPGA device and transceiver architecture for fast trade execution
  • Less than 3ns transceiver latency and up to 7X performance vs. the previous generation
  • Slim form factor for cost-effective deployment
  • Optimized for rack space, compute density, and power efficiency
  • FHHL form factor to fit in a breadth of server configurations
  • Ease of development for a fast path to trade
  • Traditional FPGA flows through the AMD Vivado™ tool with reference designs
  • Open-source PyTorch development flow for AI-enabled trading algorithms
  • IP and trading development frameworks from ecosystem partners
