AMD has announced the Alveo UL3422, which is said to be the world’s fastest single-slot half-length (FHHL) accelerator for brokerage and exchange applications. The new product is already being delivered to customers from the financial sector around the world.
The device uses Virtex UltraScale+ VU2P FPGA. The configuration includes 32 ultra-low latency transceivers, 787K LUTs and 1680 DSPs. The FPGA includes 256 MB of on-chip memory—76 MB of block RAM and 180 MB of UltraRAM. The stated latency at the transceiver level is less than 3 ns.
The card uses the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface (x16 connector). The stated TDP is 120 W; Passive cooling is used. The equipment includes 16 GB of DDR4-2400 memory. There are two QSFP-DD connectors (16×10/25G) and two ARF6 connectors.
The Alveo UL3422 accelerator can be used in conjunction with the Vivado Design Suite development platform. AMD also provides customers with the open-source and community-supported FINN development environment, enabling the integration of low-latency AI models into high-performance trading systems. FINN uses PyTorch and neural network quantization techniques.
The accelerator comes with a set of reference projects and performance tests. Among the key areas of application of the new product are trading operations with ultra-low latency and risk analysis.
