S2C Quad KU115 Prodigy™ Logic Module

The Quad KU115 Logic Module is S2C’s 6th generation SoC/ASIC prototyping hardware that is populated with four Xilinx Kintex UltraScale XCKU115 FPGA devices. The Quad KU115 Logic Module is designed for massive parallel DSP calculation tasks with each KU115 device containing 5,520 DSP Slices. Large numbers of Quad KU115 Logic Modules can be formed in a MESH configuration to obtain the largest parallel DSP processing power in S2C’s Prodigy Cloud Cube™, an enterprise-class prototyping system. The Quad KU Logic Module provides access to 1,200 general purpose I/Os and 64 GTH transceivers on 12 high-speed connectors. Users also have access to S2C’s vast library of 80+ daughter cards to quickly build prototype targets.
