Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Suite Quartus Prime Pro–Stratix 10 Edition Beta

The Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) specification defines a new type of memory device that provides a significant increase in bandwidth and power efficiency over existing memory architectures. The HMC specification targets high performance computers and next-generation networking equipment and provides scalability for a wide range of applications.

The Intel® HMC Controller IP core enables easy access to external HMC devices. HMC devices provide high bandwidth, reliable access to large amounts of memory with a small form factor, and provide significant system cost savings in high performance, memory intensive applications. The HMC Controller IP core provides a simple user interface through which you can communicate with an external HMC device to incorporate these bandwidth and performance gains in your design.
