Agilex 5 + DG IP: High-Performance Edge Networking with Zero-Cost Ethernet Hard IP

In today’s AI-driven world, the demand for real-time, high-speed networking is more critical than ever. Whether you’re building next-gen Edge AI, 8K media pipelines, or low-latency cloud services, your system’s ability to handle massive data transfers with minimal CPU load can be a make-or-break factor.

Introducing the power combo of the Agilex 5 Sulfur FPGA from Intel and UDP/TCP Soft IP from Design Gateway – a breakthrough solution delivering 10 Gbps full-bandwidth performance while offloading communication protocol processing entirely from the CPU.

💡 Why Does This Matter?

Most modern CPUs hit a throughput bottleneck when forced to process both application logic and communication protocols at 10 Gbps. With TCP/IP or UDP/IP stacks consuming excessive resources, the effective data transfer rate often drops below 30% of theoretical bandwidth – leaving performance on the table.

CPU Overload, Limited Throughput At 10Gbps Ethernet speed, protocol processing by the CPU leads to high system load and throughput bottlenecks—resulting in only ~3Gbps performance. Upgrade your architecture to eliminate inefficiencies in real-time data communication. — Without Offload Engine

The Design Gateway UDP10G-IP steps in as a low-latency, resource-optimized protocol offload engine, shifting the workload to the FPGA’s fabric. Combined with the zero-cost integrated Ethernet Hard IP in Agilex 5, you now have a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and scalable networking platform.

Maximum Throughput, Minimum CPU Load Achieve full 10Gbps throughput with Design Gateway’s TOE/UDP Offload Engine IP on Agilex 5 FPGA. Reduce CPU workload, enhance system performance, and accelerate time-critical applications with seamless protocol offloading. — With Design Gateway Offload Engine IP
