Agilex™ 7 SoC FPGAs Enable 400G-DR4-LPO Optical Modules to Significantly Reduce Power, Cost, and Latency White Paper - Altera’s 116G FPGA transceivers successfully interoperate with Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) modules. FPGA-based SmartNICs or AI NICs enable programmable acceleration and offloading for AI clusters and HPC in hyperscale cloud/data centers, storage, and networking infrastructure. Customers benefit from LPO technologies’ lower power, lower cost, lower latency, and plug-and-play compatibility for high-speed interconnects to meet the increasing demands and requirements of these applications.
