SoC/SoPC

Integration of digital and control elements on a single chip managed by RISC CPU, DSP, signal processing blocks, peripherals, memory interface.

FPGA-based hardware accelerator

FPGA-based PCIe accelerator board is effectively optimized for Artificial Intelligence (AI), video processing and encoding, backbone network traffic analysis, simulation of physical processes, genome and DNA research. FPGA accelerator board is based on Xilinx UltraScale+ and Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ chips. It supports up to 32GB of external memory and 4 100 GE network ports.
