Komodo Fiber Reference Guide
7
Overview
Komodo Fiber is high-performance yet low-cost FPGA card supporting four SPF+ 10GigE
transceivers and a single QSFP 40GigE optical interface. The card is based on Arria V GZ powerful
FPGA that offers up to 400K flexible logic elements, 1K DSP blocks and 28Mbit of embedded
memory. The board offers a flexible DDR3 memory system with up to 144 Gb of memory and 16
GByte/s throughput. A high speed x8 lane Gen 3.0 PCI express interface allows fast data transfers
between optical links and computer memory while a versatile GPIO with multi-standard support
enables connection to external devices. The QSFP and SFP interfaces are connected directly to
FPGA device transceiver channels to minimize latency.
All of these features combine make the Komodo Fiber ideal for a wide range of applications,
including network processing and security, compute and storage, instrumentation, broadcast,
defense and aerospace.
