This document provides hardware and software installation procedures for the Varium™ C1100
compute adaptor using XRT 2021.1 and later. For installation procedures using previous XRT
versions, see v1.0 of the Varium C1100 Compute Adaptor Installation Guide (
Different system configurations are available for running, developing, and debugging applications
on your Varium C1100 compute adaptor:
• Running Applications: To configure a system to run accelerated applications, install a Varium
C1100 compute adaptor into a system as described in
Chapter 3: Adaptor Installation
along with the required deployment software to support running applications.
• Running, Developing, and Debugging Applications: By installing the Varium C1100 compute
adaptor with both the deployment and development software on a single machine, you can
configure a system for developing and running compute applications. With the adaptor
installed, developers can debug applications in both emulation modes and on the hardware.
Adaptor Features
The full-height, half-length Varium C1100 compute adaptor is Gen3 x16 PCI Express
®
(PCIe)
compliant. It features the Xilinx
