This topic describes the features of field programmable gate array (FPGA)-accelerated compute optimized instance families and lists the instance types of each family.
- Recommended instance families
f3, FPGA-accelerated compute optimized instance family
Features
- Uses Xilinx 16nm Virtex UltraScale+ VU9P FPGAs.
- Compute:
- Offers a CPU-to-memory ratio of 1:4.
- Uses 2.5 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8163 (Skylake) processors.
- Storage:
- Is an instance family in which all instances are I/O optimized.
- Supports only standard SSDs and ultra disks.
- Network:
Provides high network performance based on large computing capacity.
- Suits the following scenarios:
