Terasic Technologies Mercury A2700 Accelerator Card

Terasic Technologies Mercury A2700 Accelerator Card leverages the Altera high-performance Agilex® 7 I-Series FPGA with 2700K logic elements to address the most compute and bandwidth-demanding applications in the cloud, data centers, and embedded devices.

As the first Terasic accelerator to provide PCIe® 5.0 x16 and Compute Express Link (CXL) support, the Mercury A2700 accelerator card enables twice the bandwidth compared to the PCIe 4.0 interface, resulting in higher data throughput. It also offers high-speed, low-latency, and efficient performance between the CPU and FPGA.

In addition, equipped with two QSFP-DD connectors and four DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets, the Mercury A2700 accelerator card accelerates every workload across the data center and edge in computer vision, high-performance computing, and other compute-intensive applications.
