General Description
With the rapidly-rising demand in today's AI and compute-intensive applications,
Terasic's FLIK (FPGA Client Innovation Kit) is a compact, all-in-one, adaptable
accelerator purpose-design to accelerate critical workloads such as data analysis,
deep learning, and machine learning algorithms directly on laptops or everything
portable! With a form factor slightly larger than a 2.5" external hard drive. It can be
placed vertically or horizontally to blend into various size-demanding environment.
FLIK takes advantage of the powerful Intel Arria 10 FPGA to enable higher speed data
processing. The kit is armed with 8GB DDR4-2133 on-board memory, providing around
4GB data transfer via PCIe Gen 3 interface between FPGA and laptops or host PC via
Thunderbolt™ 3 port. Also, with a form factor slightly larger than a 2.5" external hard
drive and closely packed in an aluminum body with advanced thermal solution, FLIK
takes care of the heat dissipation dynamically and is adaptable to various
size-demanding environment.
FLIK fully supports Intel Open VINO™ toolkit, Intel Acceleration Stack, and OpenCL in
both Linux and Windows versions. Our clients can achieve highest computing
performance, adaptability and lowest cost across broadest range of AI and deep
learning workloads.
