Why CPU-Based Systems Fall Short in Medical Imaging
Four challenges: Write Throughput Limitation, TCP/IP Processing Overhead, Protocol Performance Constraint, Workflow Interruption Risk
Why Choose Our FPGA-Based System
Three advantages: FPGA Scalability & Flexibility, Zero CPU Dependency, Zero-Cost Evaluation
IP Core Suites

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.

IP Core Function Key Performance
Learn more → Fully hardware-implemented TCP/IP Offload Engine at 100G Ethernet line rate. Manages all connection handling, retransmissions, flow control, and FTP server logic entirely in FPGA logic — no OS stack, no CPU cycles consumed. 100 GbpsFull-duplex FTP
Learn more → Hardware exFAT file system controller providing simultaneous Write (record) and Read (FTP transfer) access to the NVMe SSD. Files appear natively on any Windows, Linux, or macOS workstation — fully compatible with PACS and clinical systems without special drivers. Concurrent R/WGen4 SSD speed
Learn more → Lightweight hardware NVMe host controller interfacing directly with PCIe Gen4 SSD at full bandwidth. Bypasses PCIe Hard IP limitations and Linux driver overhead — sustaining write speeds matching the physical limit of modern Gen4 drives. ~7,000 MB/sPCIe Gen4 NVMe
