Intel® Acceleration Stack for Intel® Xeon® CPU with FPGAs 1.1
This document provides:
  • Instructions and requirements for installing the Intel FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card N3000 into a server.
  • Instructions for installing the Open Programmable Acceleration Engine (OPAE) software on host Intel® Xeon® processor for managing and accessing the Intel® FPGA PAC N3000.
  • Instructions for installing the OPAE tools for validation of the Intel® FPGA PAC N3000.
  • Instructions for running built-in self-tests using the FPGA factory image.
  • Instructions for installing the Intel XL710 driver and network testing tools for testing the ethernet capabilities.
  • Information about Graceful Shutdown and Single Event Upset (SEU) handling.
The Intel® Acceleration Stack for Intel® Xeon® CPU with FPGAs is a collection of software, firmware, and tools that allows both software and RTL developers to take advantage of the power of Intel® FPGA PAC N3000. By offloading computationally intensive networking tasks to the FPGA, the acceleration platform allows the Intel® Xeon® processor to execute other critical processing tasks.
