BittWare incorporates Intilop's 76-ns full TCP Offload on their FPGA PCIe board

BittWare has announced the availability of their Altera Stratix V FPGA PCIe board integrated with Intilop's low latency 4th gen 10G nano TCP offload (TOE) and low latency Media Access Controller (MAC). The 76 ns TOE technology delivers better performance at 20 Gbps in full duplex and is 100x faster than legacy TCP/IP software, claims the supplier. This Hyper-Accelerated FPGA platform pegs record setting latency from 'Wire-to-User-FIFO' at 230 nanoseconds.

The S5 family of FPGA-based PCIe COTS solution addresses the challenges of developing financial applications by combining the Altera Stratix V FPGA with 10GigE straight to the FPGA for ultra-low latency (no external PHY) and Intilop's TOE. The solution comes in a PCIe-compliant deployable slot-card.

"Our S5 family of boards is taking the financial industry by storm. Latency is the name of the game, and our S5 boards provide10 GigE straight to the FPGA for ultra-low latency without the need for an external PHY," stated Ron Huizen, BittWare vice president of Technology. "With the integration of Intilop's TOE and MAC, the concept of low latency is taken to another level, providing an ideal solution for financial applications, where the lowest latency wins."

The Stratix V is designed for high-end applications and provides a high level of system integration and flexibility for I/O, routing, and processing. The S5 family of boards offers solutions for high-performance network processing, signal processing, and data acquisition.

The boards may be combined with BittWare's Anemone co-processor and ATLANTiS FrameWork for enhanced productivity and portability.
