Northwest Logic’s PCI Express 4.0® Solution Passed Testing at the December PCI Express 4.0 FYI Compliance Workshop

Northwest Logic’s PCI Express 4.0 solution, including the Expresso 4.0 Core and DMA Core, in combination with the Xilinx Ultrascale+ PCIe® PHY, passed all Gold and Interoperability tests at the December 2017 PCI-SIG FYI Compliance Workshop. Hardware testing was done with both 4 and 1 lanes running at up to 16 Gbit/s.

This PCI Express 4.0 solution provides a robust, high-performance and proven platform for developing PCI Express 4.0/3.1/2.1/1.1 based products. This solution is available for ASICs, structured ASICs and FPGA platforms. Start your PCIe 4.0, 16G Designs Now!

NEC Expands Horizons for Super Computing Using Northwest Logic’s HBM2 Controller Core

NEC Corporation recently announced its new high-end SX-Aurora TSUBASA product line that expands the horizons of supercomputing, artificial intelligence and big data analytics. This platform utilizes a Vector Engine which connects to six HBM2 memory systems using the Northwest Logic’s HBM2 Controller Core. The Vector CPU which incorporates the Vector Engine has 307 GFlops performance which is about five times higher performance than previous generations. “We are pleased we were able to meet our performance goals with an efficient gate utilization using Northwest Logic’s HBM2 controller,” said NEC’s Yasushi Kanoh from 3rd Solution Platform Department, IT Platform Division. “NEC’s supercomputing platform is very impressive. We look forward to the success of this platform and future collaboration with NEC,” said Brian Daellenbach, President at Northwest Logic.
