Flexible Multi-port Ethernet Intel® Agilex M Based SmartNIC
The Silicom FPGA SmartNIC FB2CDG1@AGM39D-2 is a high-performance programmable PCIe Server adapter based on the Intel® Agilex™ M-series AGMF039 FPGA (option for AGMF032). The Agilex-M™ is an extremely powerful FPGA which also features up to on-chip 32GB HBM2e memory providing an unprecedented 2 x 2.6 Tbps HBMe2 bandwidth. The card is equipped with 2 x QSFPDD56 for supporting 2x 400GE, as well as a wide range of other link speed combinations like 16×10/25GE or even 8x100G with the appropriate breakout modules and link partners.
The FB2CDG1@AGM39D-2 is made in 2 primary variants: One variant with 2 banks of DDR5 for 32GB DDR5 on the PCB. The second variant with 2 x ARF6 connectors with 16x32Gbps. The ARF6 connectors add unprecedented flexibility in host bandwidth and network connectivity. Via an adaptor cable, an additional PCIe Gen4 x16 connector can be employed for additional host bandwidth. The same connectors can alternatively be used with Fireflytm cables for connecting an additional 2x 8xSFP28 or 2x 2xQSFP28 for higher Ethernet link capacity to the solution in appliances. The connectors can also be used for direct connection of two boards or to connect multiple cards in series.
The AGM FPGA series features CXL 1.1 and 2.0, providing heterogeneous processing and computing in performance-intensive workloads like AI, machine learning and analytics.
