XtremeData Announces First AMD-Compatible Socket F (1207) In-Socket Accelerator
XtremeData is now shipping the first AMD Socket F (1207) based In-Socket Accelerator. The device is compatible with the newest Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor and incorporates dual Altera high-performance Stratix II FPGAs. The new XD2000F accelerator module targets financial data analytics and data communications system design applications. It plugs into servers via the HyperTransport technology bus at 800MT/s to significantly speed compute-intensive computer processing. The HyperTransport bus offers a high-bandwidth, low latency interface for other processors and memory in dual, quad and octal platforms. Placing the XD2000F in one or more of the CPU sockets gives the In-Socket Accelerator a high-speed link to memory as well as a fast connection to the host processor without requiring board modifications, while providing a simple hardware integration path, the vendor claims.
