Thanks to Maxeler Technologies, we currently host 4 systems with a total of 10 MAX3 dataflow compute engines for various research projects.
| System | Processor | Memory | Accelerator |
|---|---|---|---|
| maxstation1 | Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHz | 16GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz | MAX3 (V6-SXT475) + 10G interface |
| maxstation2 | Intel Core i7 870 @ 2.93GHz | 16GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz | MAX3 (V6-SXT475) + 10G interface |
| maxnode1 | Dual Intel Core Xeon X5650 (6-core per CPU) @ 2.67GHz | 96GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz (ECC) | Quad MAX3 (V6-SXT475) |
| maxnode2 | Dual Intel Core Xeon X5650 (6-core per CPU) @ 2.67GHz | 96GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz (ECC) | Quad MAX3 (V6-SXT475) |
Each MaxWorkstation is equipped with a MAX3 dataflow compute engine and a 10G interface card, which provides high bandwidth and low latency communication channels. Each MaxNode is equipped with four MAX3 dataflow compute engines, connected together by a MaxRing.
Other systems that we have developed include the heterogeneous cluster Axel and the multi-FPGA system Cube.
