Orion HBM
Achieve the Highest Acceleration Levels with AMD Versal™ HBM FPGA board.
The next-generation AMD Versal HBM FPGA board has a unique design and allows users to reach the highest acceleration levels for compute-intensive workloads. With its memory capacity, bandwidth, and seamless integration, it is a top choice for applications requiring ultra-fast performance and enormous data processing capabilities.
Benefits
Significant Performance Improvements Compared to the Previous FPGA Family
With the AMD Versal VH1582 FPGA chip available in -2 and -3 speed grades, the board provides development resources for most demanding applications.
Considerable on-chip and External Memory
With 32 GB HBM and 64 GB LPDDR4 memory, and total memory bandwidth close to 9Tbps, the board is ideal for ultra-high performance applications (complex simulations, AI interface, HFT, programmable networking, cryptography, and datacenters).
Flexible Clocking Architecture
Our signature dual jitter attenuators enable very efficient clocking schemas for designs, and allow channel synchronization for latency-sensitive HFT applications.
Customization
The board allows for I/O customization tailored to your specific requirements (different types and number of ports, extra functionality such as Layer 1, and any other customization as needed).
The Orion HBM seamlessly integrates with all LDA platforms, including Neo X and Unity. When installed in Neo X the Orion HBM card offers up to 48 10/25 Gbps-capable SFP ports, along with PCIe 4.0 x16 and 2x 400 Gbps QSFP-DD ports. In the Unity chassis, each installed board provides eight QSFP-DD ports. Both Neo X and Unity support up to three Orion HBM boards.

AMD Versal HBM series FPGAs are a heterogeneous computing platform designed to help users achieve the highest possible acceleration levels for a wide range of compute-intensive data center workloads by providing the highest computing density, a custom memory hierarchy, and massive on-chip memory.

Add-on I/O Cards
The Orion HBM has nine Samtec AcceleRate® Slim Socket high-speed connectors supporting data rates up to 112 Gbps with connectivity for eight bidirectional SerDes channels each, giving I/O cards access to a total of 68 transceivers on the FPGA chip (52 GTYP, and 16 GTM). Users can design applications tailored to their I/O requirements by creating combinations of GTYP and GTM transceivers using suitable connectors.
Available with an LDA OSC-DD2 (2x QSFP-DD ports) I/O card, it can also be paired with the LDA D6 Mark II adding 3x QSFP-DD ports and Layer 1 for an even more powerful solution.
Up to four cards can be attached if additional or other types of connections are required.



16 × 10/25G
SFP
