HPE R4B02A 

Xilinx Alveo U50 Data Center Networking Accelerator

The HPE R4B02A Xilinx Alveo U50 is a high-efficiency, FPGA-based networking Acceleratorbuilt for data centers that demand ultra-low latency and high throughput. Based on the Xilinx UltraScale+ architecture, this compact Accelerator delivers blazing-fast performance with just 75 W power consumption, integration of 100 Gbps networking I/O, PCIe Gen 4 interface, and 8 GB of high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Ideal for latency-sensitive workloads such as financial trading, AI inference, real-time analytics, and computational storage, the Alveo U50 drastically enhances data throughput and application acceleration without increasing power or space requirements.

Features

Bringing robust acceleration to modern data center environments, the Alveo U50 combines a high-performance FPGA with 8 GB of HBM, offering peak memory bandwidth of ~316 GB/s and nominal bandwidth around 201 GB/s. This ensures fast data access for compute-intensive operations. Equipped with 100 Gbps network I/O and a PCIe Gen 4 x16 interface, the card integrates seamlessly with modern servers while supporting high-throughput, low-latency data paths. Its passive-cooled, small form factor allows deployment in dense rack environments with minimal thermal constraints. Built for agility and scale, the R4B02A supports accelerated workloads acrossHPE ProLiant DL and Apollo platforms, serving roles in financial computing, AI/ML, big data analytics, and innovative computational storage solutions. 

Advanced Options

Engineered for performance-critical environments, the Alveo U50 delivers unrestricted network and compute acceleration through its tightly integrated FPGA + HBM architecture. The combination of high-speed memory and 100 Gbps connectivity reduces data bottlenecks and enables ultra-low latency processing. The low-power passive design (75 W) allows high-density deployments without burdening cooling infrastructure.
