The AMD Alveo™ V80 high-performance data center accelerator card is designed for deployment in any server on-prem or in the cloud and targets accelerating memory-bound, compute-intensive, high bandwidth workloads in:
- Genomic sequencing
- High-performance computing (HPC)
- Packet processing
- Big data analytics and search
- Financial computing
- Storage services
Featuring the powerful AMD Versal™ XCV80 HBM series adaptive SoC, the Alveo V80 card packs high bandwidth memory (HBM2e) and 800 Gb/s of high-speed networking into a full-height ¾ length form factor dual-slot card, and is designed for deployment in a server on-prem or in the cloud.
The V80 accelerator is optimized for maximizing I/O capabilities through the AMD Versal architecture. It features 32 GB of DDR4 DIMM memory tailored for use with compute fabric and DSP engines, supplemented by an additional 4 GB of discrete memory specifically crafted for Arm® cores on the Versal silicon. Additionally, the card offers Mini Cool Edge I/O (MCIO) expansion connectors targeting diverse applications (direct connection to NVMe storage) at PCI Express® Gen5 speeds. The V80 card supports PCIe Gen4 x16 or dual Gen5 x8, contains 32 GB of high-bandwidth memory (HBM2e) at 819 GB/s of bandwidth, and Ethernet networking capability with four QSFP56 connectors capable of 4 x 200 Gb/s. All this HBM2e bandwidth, power-optimized fabric performance, and capability are unlocked and available via the AMD Vivado™ Design Suite with a flow that is streamlined for hardware designers.
