Overview
The 10Gbps Ultra Low Latency Ethernet FPGA IP core solution offers a fully integrated IEEE 802.3-2015 compliant package for NIC (Network Interface Card) and Ethernet switching applications. This ultra-low latency solution is specifically targeted for demanding financial, high frequency trading and HPC applications. A fully-integrated version where the ultra-low latency 10G FPGA IP core solution is targeted for Solarflare® SFA7942Q ApplicationOnload™ Engine (AOE) is also available.
