Intel Accelerators for HPE Servers
Hewlett Packard Enterprise supports, on select HPE servers, computational accelerator modules based on Intel Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology.
An FPGA can be reprogrammed and updated with new algorithms for different workloads. This flexibility allows a single FPGA to accelerate many different workloads efficiently, and to support future applications without the need to change the hardware. For instance, a FPGA could handle one workload during the morning shift and a different workload during an evening shift. Programmability also allows FPGAs to stay abreast of evolving standards, such as networking protocols, and enables updates to maintain compliance when a standard is finalized—again, without having to re-spin the hardware.
HPE has teamed up with Intel to offer FPGA solutions on select HPE ProLiant DL Gen10 servers and on select HPE Edgeline servers. HPE servers also offer a unique Silicon Root of Trust to protect against firmware-based cybersecurity threats. The combination of HPE servers with Intel FPGAs provides flexible, industrial-strength compute solutions that can be tuned for specific workloads.
Intel has developed the Acceleration Stack for Intel Xeon CPU with FPGAs to provide a common developer interface for both application and accelerator function developers, and includes drivers, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and an FPGA Interface Manager. Together with acceleration libraries and development tools, Intel’s Acceleration Stack enables developers to focus on the unique value-add of their solutions. Intel has also open-sourced the Open Programmable Acceleration Engine (OPAE) technology, a software programming layer that provides a consistent API across Intel FPGA platforms. It is designed for minimal software overhead and latency, while providing an abstraction for hardware-specific FPGA resource details. OPAE is the default software stack for the Intel® Xeon® processor with both integrated and discrete FPGA devices.
The collaboration between HPE and Intel provides industrial-strength FPGA solutions that accelerate business-critical workloads. The supporting software ecosystem is developing at a rapid enough pace to be able to continuously add value to customers in an ever-expanding range of uses cases. The performance, adaptability and power efficiency of FPGAs serve to increase productivity and drive innovation—with rapid ROI and minimized TCO.

Supported Cables The Intel Programmable Acceleration Card (PAC) with Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA has a QSFP+ cage on the front panel which supports one 40GbE or four 10GbE. The table below details the Intel-supported connectors which are required for use with the PAC. Successful functioning of 40GbE and 10GbE requires appropriate physical medium attachment (PMA) settings. These settings may be set by your third-party Accelerator Functional Unit (AFU) provider. If not, or if you are developing your own AFU, run the provided PMA settings script as detailed in the 10Gbps Ethernet AFU Design Example User Guide or 40Gbps Ethernet AFU Design Example User Guide.
