AMD Alveo™ SN1000 SmartNIC Accelerator Card

The AMD Alveo™ SN1000 is the industry’s first SmartNIC offering software-defined hardware acceleration for all function offloads in a single platform.

  • Part Number:
    • A-SN1022-P4

While the Alveo SN1022 adaptive SmartNIC is actively being supported for current users, AMD recommends that all new designs target the Alveo U45 network accelerator. Contact an AMD product specialist for any questions.

Overview

AMD Alveo SN1000 SmartNICs directly offload CPU-intensive tasks to optimize networking performance, with an architecture that can accelerate a broad range of custom offloads at line rate, including support for customer-built and third-party offloads.

Based on the AMD 16nm UltraScale+™ architecture, SN1000 SmartNICs are powered by the low-latency AMD XCU26 FPGA and a 16-core Arm® processor.

Key Features & Benefits

P4 Programmability
The SN1000 features full protocol-level offload acceleration customization, application-specific data paths, and the ease of P4 high-level language programming. Vitis™ Networking, P4 toolkit from AMD, enables customers to compose custom offloads and tweak existing offloads to handle new protocols and applications without replacing hardware.

Customized Offloads
SN1000 SmartNICs provide software-defined hardware acceleration for a wide range of networking, security, and storage offloads.
