FLIK Portable Accelerator

Terasic's FLIK (FPGA client innovation kit) is a compact, all-in-one, adaptable accelerator designed to assist with the rapidly-rising demand in AI and compute-intensive applications. Purpose-designed to accelerate critical workloads such as data analysis, deep learning, and machine learning algorithms directly on laptops or everything portable, it has a form factor slightly larger than a 2.5" external hard drive and can be placed vertically or horizontally to blend into various size-demanding environments.

FLIK takes advantage of the powerful Intel® Arria® 10 FPGA to enable higher speed data processing. The kit is armed with 8 GB DDR4-2133 on-board memory, providing around 4 GB data transfer via PCIe Gen 3 interface between the FPGA and laptops or host PC via Thunderbolt™ 3 port. 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 evironments.

FLIK fully supports Intel Open VINO™ toolkit, Intel Acceleration Stack, and OpenCL in both Linux and Windows versions. Customers can achieve high computing performance, adaptability, and low cost across a broad range of AI and deep learning workloads.
