The Virtex-II Pro FPGA Prototyping Station is based on the Xilinx Virtex-II Pro FPGA and includes one AMIRIX AP1000 development board installed in the 64-bit PCI-X slot of an IBM Intellisation Z Pro workstation. With large FPGA gate capacity (44000 logic slices) and two embedded IBM PowerPC hard macros, as well as up to 1.4MB of on-chip RAM, this platform gives university researchers a high-performance, multiprocessor development environment.
