Alveo U25 2×10/25Gb Ethernet PCIe SmartNIC
Features and Benefits
A Powerful SmartNIC
The U25 delivers ultra-high throughput, small packet performance and low-latency. The host interface supports standard NIC drivers as well as Onload® kernel bypass to provide both TCP and packet- based APIs for network application acceleration. IEEE1588v2 precision timing protocol (PTP) is provided for applications that require synchronized time stamping of packets with single-digit nanosecond accuracy.
A Programmable Fabric
The U25 SmartNIC contains a programmable FPGA handling all network flows. Each flow can be individually delivered to the host and/or streamed in hardware through bump-in-the-wire network acceleration functions and/or compute acceleration kernels for application processing within the FPGA.
A Platform for Hardware Accelerated Clouds
Cloud service providers are deploying SmartNIC fabrics to achieve virtual switching and micro- segmentation of services that scale linearly with CPU cores and network links. The U25 is a platform for the industry’s first converged SmartNIC fabric, including shrink-wrapped applications.
