Composable FPGA
Liqid delivers improved resource management and utilization with software-defined infrastructure composability for reprogrammable FPGA media, including those from partner and data center accelerator innovator Xilinx. Composable, bare-metal FPGA across Liqid’s ultra-low-latency PCIe fabric simplifies scalability and resource orchestration unlocking the performance and efficiency that a heterogeneous compute environment can provide for a wide variety of use cases, ranging from video processing, machine learning, to enterprise data analytics.
The Xilinx Alveo family of data center accelerator cards provide system integrators the ability to optimize for performance and power. Liqid’s intelligent PCIe fabric and Command Center orchestration software enables
