Adopting UltraScale FPGAs to power FP1 instances

At HUAWEI CONNECT 2017, Xilinx announced that Huawei has adopted high-performance Virtex UltraScale+ FPGAs to power the first FP1 instances as part of a new accelerated cloud service.

Huawei's FPGA Accelerated Cloud Server (FACS) is a platform that allows users to develop, deploy, and publish new FPGA-based services and applications on Huawei's public cloud.

Huawei has a team of FPGA experts and is a global center with over 15 years of experience in FPGA system development for telecom and data center markets. “Huawei FACS is a fully integrated hardware and software platform that brings together best-in-class industry tool chains and Huawei’s significant FPGA engineering expertise, from developer to deployment support,” said Steve Langridge, Chairman of Huawei Canada Research Centre and Central Hardware Association. “Xilinx is an industry leader in FPGA acceleration, and our close collaboration with both the research labs and standards groups allows us to create maximum value for our customers.”

'Huawei Connect 2017' is Huawei's flagship event for the global ICT industry, held at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Center from September 5 to 7 with the theme of 'Growth through Cloud'. At the event, Huawei explored ways to realize new growth through digital transformation with customers and partners on a global platform for open collaboration.
