Terasic’s Agilex®7 I-series Accelerator Card
The Terasic Mercury A2700 Accelerator Card incorporates the latest Intel® Agilex® 7 I-series SoC FPGA. With 2.7M FPGA logic elements, an integrated quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 hard processor system, four DDR4 SODIMM memory sockets, and multiple on-board high-speed connectivity interfaces, the Mercury Accelerator Card is specifically designed for compute-bandwidth demanding applications in the data center, in the cloud, and in embedded systems. 

The Mercury A2700 is Terasic’s first accelerator card to support PCIe 5.0 x16 and Compute Express Link 1.1/2.0 (CXL). With CXL, applications can be offloaded to the card for application-specific processing and acceleration. Equipped with two 200GbE QSPF-DD connectors, these high-speed interfaces can be used for communication management tasks or distributing workloads across the network for additional processing. An extensive set of documentation and support materials are currently available for download with the availability of the Mercury A2700 Accelerator Card in March 2024.

Hitek Systems Answers Demand for FPGA-based Acceleration with Agilex-7 Boards Leveraging Open FPGA Stack (OFS) Infrastructure
 
Utilizing Agilex®-7 FPGAs, now widely acknowledged as the highest-performing 7nm FPGAs in the industry, Hitek Systems worked to incorporate Agilex-7 FPGAs in its line of high-performance accelerators (HiPrAcc™). Hitek Systems concluded that standardizing development flows to maximize reuse and expedite time to market would better capture the increasing demand for FPGA-based accelerators.

So, Hitek Systems, a platinum Intel/Altera partner, integrated the open-source Open FPGA Stack (OFS) hardware and software infrastructure. The use of OFS-based hardware and software components, paired with open-source technical documentation, simplifies the development flow and enhances reuse and portability across its family of PCIe accelerators. These target platforms became the Hitek Systems HiPrAcc™ family of high-end accelerators.
