Introduction to Hybrid Memory Cubes with Altera FPGAs

Description

Hybrid Memory Cube, or HMC, is the next generation of high-speed external memory technology. Multiple DRAM layers are connected to a logic base layer to form a 3-D, high capacity, small footprint package. Instead of the parallel interface used in traditional DDR-type memory, HMC uses high-speed transceiver links, abstracting away the complexities of DRAM timing. In this training, you'll be introduced to Hybrid Memory Cube, its architecture, how it compares to DDR-type memory, and how it works with Altera FPGA devices. Note that the HMC Controller IP is currently only supported for members of the Arria 10 device family.
