Molex offers BittWare accelerator products featuring AMD and Altera FPGA technology for compute, network, storage, and sensor-processing applications. These programmable products dramatically increase application performance and energy efficiency while reducing total cost of ownership.

The Testing

The Molex BittWare XUP-VV8 FPGA card delivers high-performance acceleration for networking, electronic trading, communications, and compute-intensive applications. Built around AMD Virtex UltraScale+ FPGA technology, the XUP-VV8 combines extensive programmable logic resources, high-capacity memory, and support for up to eight 100GbE network connections in a compact PCIe form factor. We tested the BittWare XUP-VV8 FPGA accelerator cards inside a Blackcore FLEX 3134-SX+ server. Our testing process set out to validate the cards on our platform during an extended stress test. During the testing, the team analyzed the following key points: CPU, memory, and FPGA performance.

The Results

Testing demonstrated that the Blackcore FLEX 3134-SX+ server can reliably support up to four BittWare XUP-VV8 FPGA accelerator cards operating at near-peak power under sustained load. During extended stress testing, the server maintained stable CPU, memory, and FPGA performance while keeping the cards' temperatures below the thermal throttling threshold. The testing also confirmed balanced power distribution and full redundancy across the platform, providing clients with a proven reference architecture for deploying high-density FPGA solutions in demanding environments such as electronic trading and hardware-accelerated computing.
