11. Hard Processor System in Agilex™ 7 SoCs

The Agilex™ 7 SoCs hard processor system (HPS) consists of multicore Arm* processors. Additionally, the HPS adds a system memory management unit that enables system-wide hardware virtualization.

With the HPS architecture improvements, the Agilex™ 7 SoCs fulfill the requirements of current and future embedded markets, including:

  • Wireless and wireline communications
  • Datacenter acceleration
  • Numerous military applications
  • Various industrial applications

The HPS of the F-Series, I-Series, and M-Series SoCs consists a quad-core Arm* Cortex* -A53, allowing you to easily migrate existing SoC designs from Stratix® 10 SoCs.
