Features and general description 2 AdvanceTM e720 Accelerator Card User Guide Features and general description The Advance e720 accelerator card (shown in Figure 2) is based on the CSX700 double-precision, floating-point accelerator. It is designed for use in HP blade servers and systems that provide Type II mezzanine compatible connectors. Figure 2. Advance CSX700 mezzanine card. The Advance e720 accelerator card uses a single CSX700 processor.
AdvanceTM e720 Accelerator Card User Guide 2.1 Features and general description Firmware Board level management is implemented in an FPGA. At power-on, the FPGA logic configuration is loaded from a flash memory device. The contents of the flash device can be re-programmed to upgrade functionality or performance using a software utility supplied by ClearSpeed. This utility runs on the host system and reprograms the flash device through the Advance e720 accelerator card’s register space.
