Following was quoted at an Altera page on HPC (I couldn't paste link, please search by QPI) 

 

QUOTE 

"For high-bandwidth and low-latency CPU interfaces, partners have Stratix® FPGA-based Opteron HT3.0 solutions, Intel front side bus (FSB and quick path interconnect (QPI) solutions, and memory DIMM interface solutions."

Does anyone know of any FPGA card makers who offer cards with QPI or DIMM interface? 

 

Thanks, regards..

Hi Forum 

 

I would like to inquire about the article I read about interfacing StratixV FPGA with Intel QPI protocol interface (Xeon Processor) 

QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) 

http://newsroom.altera.com/press-releases/nr-qpi-home-agent-fpga-altera.htm 

 

I am interested in purchasing the Stratix V FPGA which connects together with an Intel Xeon processor. (A bundle set if possible) 

 

I would like to have more information about this especially on the both system interconnect. 

How does the Intel Xeon processor connects to the Stratix V device. 

Does it have a external physical interface ? 

 

Thank you  

 

 

Regards
