Huawei Unveils Xilinx FPGA-Powered Cloud Server to North America at SC17
Xilinx, Inc. (XLNX) and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. today jointly announced the North American debut of the Huawei FPGA Accelerated Cloud Server (FACS) platform at SC17. Powered by Xilinx high performance Virtex® UltraScale™+ FPGAs, the FACS platform is differentiated in the marketplace today.
Launched at the Huawei Connect 2017 event, the Huawei Cloud provides FACS FP1 instances as part of its Elastic Compute Service. These instances enable users to develop, deploy, and publish new FPGA-based services and applications through easy-to-use development kits and cloud-based EDA verification services. Both expert hardware developers and high-level language users benefit from FP1 tailored instances suited to each development flow.
The interactive demonstration at SC17 illustrates the large performance advantage of the Huawei FACS platform compared to an HPC class CPU-based platform through a video encoding and a compression scenario. Highlighted demos from NGCodec and DeePhi feature video encoding and deep learning capabilities, respectively. The FP1 demonstrations feature Xilinx technology which provides a 10-100x speed-up for compute intensive cloud applications such as data analytics, genomics, video processing, and machine learning. Huawei FP1 instances are equipped with up to eight Virtex UltraScale+ VU9P FPGAs and can be configured in a 300G mesh topology optimized for performance at scale. Both the cloud service and the platform technology for on premise solutions are highlighted in the demonstration.
