New ContributorTom,
It was a pleasure being part of this webinar a month ago.
Since then, that single BittWare IA-840F card, with your Agilex F-Series FPGA, has reliably moved about 100 PB (Peta Bytes) between the FPGA and the host Xeon user-space memory. While there is no reason to suspect that the results we presented over our observation window of minutes could not be sustained continuously and indefinitely; we thought it would be a good experiment to do so. No surprises: running Arkville on Agilex F-Series 24/7 produces the same throughput in the long-term as it does in the short.
It's notable and commendable that the Agilex F-Series device on the BittWare IA-840F card, at Gen4x16, even on a Dell R750 server's riser card, has a low-enough BER that in normal observation windows there are *zero* PCIe TLP replays either way. Kudos to Intel, BittWare, and Dell SI teams.
