BittWare IA-860m Altera Agilex™ 7 M-Series FPGA Card

BittWare IA-860m Altera Agilex™ 7 M-Series FPGA Card is designed for throughput and memory-intensive applications. This FPGA card features an extensive memory hierarchy, with integrated high-bandwidth memory (HBM2e) and a hard memory Network-on-Chip (NoC) for maximum memory bandwidth. The IA-860m M-series FPGA card combines I/O and memory capabilities by leveraging the Agilex 7 chip's distinctive tiling architecture. This FPGA card supports Altera oneAPI™, facilitating an abstracted development flow that significantly streamlines code reuse across diverse architectures. The IA-860m FPGA card operates within the +5°C to +35°C temperature range. This FPGA card is ISO 9000, ISO 9001, conflict mineral policy, and CE certified. Typical applications include cloud computing, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and factory automation.
