1.3. Resource Utilization

Resource utilization changes depending on the parameter settings you specify in the Low Latency 40G Ethernet IP parameter editor. For example, if you turn on statistics counters in the Low Latency 40G Ethernet IP parameter editor, the IP requires additional resources to implement the additional functionality.

Table 4.  IP Variation Encoding for Resource Utilization TableIP variations are named for easy comparison with the Low Latency 40G Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP for Intel® FPGA IP devices. "On" indicates the parameter is turned on. The symbol "—" indicates the parameter is turned off or not available.
IP Variation A B C E F
Parameter

Enable TX CRC insertion — On On On On
Enable link fault generation — — On — —
Enable preamble passthrough — — On — —
Enable MAC stats counters — On On On On
Enable Strict SFD Check — — On — On
Table 5.  IP FPGA Resource UtilizationLists the resources and expected performance for selected variations of the Low Latency 40G Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP in a Agilex™ 5 device.
