Equipped with up to eight AMD Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), AMD EPYC (Milan) processors with up to 192 cores, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), up to 8 TiB of SSD-based instance storage, and up to 2 TiB of memory, the new F2 instances are available in two sizes, and are ready to accelerate your genomics, multimedia processing, big data, satellite communication, networking, silicon simulation, and live video workloads.
A Quick FPGA Recap Here’s how I explained the FPGA model when we previewed the first generation of FPGA-powered Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances

One of the more interesting routes to a custom, hardware-based solution is known as a Field Programmable Gate Array, or FPGA. In contrast to a purpose-built chip which is designed with a single function in mind and then hard-wired to implement it, an FPGA is more flexible. It can be programmed in the field, after it
