ClearSpeed Advance™ X620 and e620 Accelerator Boards
ClearSpeed Advance accelerator boards are double-precision, IEEE 754 compliant floating-point accelerator boards Each Advance board is equipped with two CSX600 processors, which is the world’s highest performance, most power efficient processor for double precision floating point arithmetic. Designed for use in server and workstation systems based on 32 bit and 64 bit x86 compatible architectures, they deliver over 66 GFLOPS of sustained double precision matrix multiply (DGEMM) performance while averaging only 25 watts power consumption.
The Advance X620 is a standard height, two-thirds length PCI-X board designed for new and existing systems whose architecture incorporates the PCI-X standard. Building on the success of the Advance X620 and delivering the same computational performance, the Advance e620 is a complementary and smaller form factor PCIe based accelerator. It brings all the benefits of ClearSpeed’s acceleration technology to the latest generation of multi-core industry standard servers that incorporate the PCIe standard.
Together the existing Advance X620 and the Advance e620 significantly increase the number of server platforms that can take advantage of ClearSpeed acceleration

Advancing performance without impacting infrastructure costs
ClearSpeed Advance boards simply plug into otherwise empty PCI-X or PCIe slots in industry standard servers or workstations without any modification or need for additional power connections. Functioning as true coprocessors in conjunction with the host processor they accelerate the most computationally intensive portions of an application. Each Advance board delivers:
- Blazing performance, capable of over 66 GFLOPS sustained double precision DGEMM
- Greater accuracy, IEEE 754 compliant 64-bit floating point operations
- Low power consumption, typically averaging only 25 Watts power dissipation per board
Users are able to take advantage of ClearSpeed's acceleration through using standard libraries and applications which have been ported to run on the Advance board family and the CSX processor.
