Hardware - CSX600
ClearSpeed's CSX600 is an embedded low power data parallel coprocessor which provides 33 GFLOPS of sustained single or double precision floating point performance, while dissipating an average of 10 Watts.
ClearSpeed Advance accelerator cards are double-precision, IEEE 754 compatible floating-point, energy-efficient accelerators. Each Advance card is equipped with two CSX600 processors, which is the world's highest performance per watt processor for double precision floating point arithmetic. Designed for use in industry-standard systems based on 32 bit and 64 bit x86 compatible architectures, they deliver over 66 GFLOPS of sustained double precision matrix multiply (DGEMM) performance while averaging only 25 watts power consumption.
The Advance X620 is a standard height, two-thirds length PCI-X card designed for new and existing systems whose architecture incorporates the PCI-X standard. Building on the success of the Advance X620 and delivering the same computational performance, the Advance e620 is a complementary and smaller form factor PCIe based accelerator. It brings all the benefits of ClearSpeed's acceleration technology to the latest generation of multi-core industry standard servers that incorporate the PCIe standard.
Together the existing Advance X620 and the Advance e620 significantly increase the number of server platforms that can take advantage of ClearSpeed acceleration.
