Design Gateway's FPGA IP Core Suites enable scalable HPC clusters using standard TCP/FTP over 100G Ethernet — no InfiniBand, no lossless fabric required. Parameter streams are delivered from a central server to FPGA processing nodes, with FTP used for both input stream download and output stream upload across the cluster chain.
Three Hardware Engines. One Complete Pipeline.
The solution integrates three of Design Gateway's production-proven IP cores, each handling one stage of the data path — from the 100G network interface down to physical NVMe SSD storage.
