Xilinx® Alveo™ U280 Data Center accelerator cards are designed to meet the constantly changing needs of the modern Data Center. Built on the Xilinx 16nm UltraScale™ architecture, Alveo U280 offers 8GB of HBM2 460 GB/s bandwidth to provide high-performance, adaptable acceleration for memory-bound, compute intensive applications including database, analytics, and machine learning inference. The U280 acceleration card includes PCI Express 4.0 support to leverage the latest server interconnect infrastructure for high-bandwidth host processors.

Alveo accelerator cards are adaptable to changing acceleration requirements and algorithm standards, capable of accelerating any workload without changing hardware, and reduce overall cost of ownership.

The Alveo U280 Data Center Accelerator cards can be utilized for application development and prototyping. Only the U280 active cards include a USB cable and right angle auxiliary power cable for developers.


Fast – Highest Performance

     a. High performance compute resources combined with high bandwidth memory for over 8x improvement in database workload performance


Adaptable – Accelerate Any Workload

     a. Database search to natural language processing to any workload using the same accelerator card. As workload algorithms evolve, use reconfigurable hardware to adapt faster than fixed-function accelerator card product cycles


Accessible – Cloud <-> On-Premises Mobility

     a. Deploy solutions on the cloud or on-premises interchangeably, scalable to application requirements
