A flexible FPGA coprocessor card integrates a Virtex-6 FPGA computing core with an industry-standard FMC I/O module on a half-length PCI Express desktop or server card. The FPGA computing core features the Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA family, in densities up to LX550 and SX475. The SX475 provides over 2000 DSP MAC elements operating at up to 500 MHz. The FPGA core has two 18 MB QDRII+ SRAM banks, two 1024 MB LPDDR2 DRAM banks, and a 128MB DDR3 bank. Each memory is directly connected to the FPGA and is fully independent. For system communications, the PEX6-COP has a PCI Express and a secondary x4 port. The PCIe port is a x8, Gen2
interface capable of up to 3 GB/s sustained operation with 4 GB/s burst rate. The secondary port can be used as Aurora ports (x4 to x1), as a second PCI Express x4 port, or using a custom protocol.
