ncarol.com/10281891

PUDONG, China - ncarol.com -- S2C, a global leader in FPGA-based prototyping solutions, announces its Prodigy S8-100 Logic System, the latest addition to the eighth-generation family, is shipping and deployed by leading enterprises. Designed to address the growing demands of AI and HPC, the S8-100 series delivers unparalleled scalability, flexibility, and efficiency.

Powered by AMD Versal™ Premium VP1902 adaptive SoC with 100M ASIC gate capacity, the S8-100 delivers 2x logic resources and 2.5x the I/O bandwidth when compared with its predecessor S7-19P. Available in Single, Dual, and Quad FPGA configurations, the S8-100 supports medium-scale to hyperscale designs with ease, making it a versatile choice for advanced chip development.

Highlights:

Rich Resources: The S8-100 delivers remarkable resources, featuring 18,507K system logic cells, 858Mb of internal memory, 6,864 DSP slices, dual-core Arm Cortex A72 and dual-core Arm Cortex R5 in each FPGA module.

High-Speed & Flexible I/O Architecture: Equipped with 2,212 XPIOs supporting dynamic I/O voltages (1.0V–1.5V) and GTM/GTYP transceivers with PCIe Gen5 and data rates of up to 56Gbps, the S8-100 effortlessly meets a wide range of system requirements.

Scaling and Partitioning Made Easy: PlayerPro-CT partitioning software supports TDM-driven, multi-strategy scheduling and placements. Fully automated flow takes RTL to bitstream with simple clicks, significantly boosting productivity.

High Productivity Toolchain: Add-on tools, including PlayerPro-DT for multi-FPGA debugging, ProtoBridge for co-simulation, and an extensive library of Prototype Ready IP of pre-validated daughter cards, speed adapters, memory interface models and reference designs, accelerate deployment and shorten the development cycle.

The S8-100 Logic System, with a capacity of 100M ASIC gates per FPGA, doubles the resources of its predecessor, the S7-19P, and offers a 2.5x increase in I/O bandwidth. Featuring high I/O counts and 32/56Gbps transceivers supporting protocols such as PCIe Gen5 and QSFP-DD, it combines robust performance with flexible scalability, meeting the demands of complex logic designs.

In particular, advanced RISC-V cores can comfortably fit inside a single S8-100 system without the need to partition. A three to five times boost in performance can be expected. For hyperscale AI and HPC designs, the S8-100 reduces partitioning complexity, simplifies topology, and facilitates seamless optimization.

To accelerate deployment, S2C offers a library of ready-to-use daughter cards, memory adapters, speed adapters, and reference designs. These tools streamline the setup of validation environments and simplify system integration. Frequently adopted options include high-speed PCIe Gen5, 400G Ethernet, and LPDDR/DDR5, and common SoC interfaces such as QSPI, MIPI D-PHY, and JTAG/debug, matching the needs across diverse applications.
