Hardware Acceleration for Measurements in 100 Gb/s Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents the NetCOPE experimental platform for evaluation of 100Gb/s networks. The platform consists of acceleration boards with FPGAs, FPGA firmware and control software. While the NetCOPE for 10Gb/s networks is a mature platform, multiplying the throughput ten times brings major challenges in the platform design.

Accurate and affordable packet-train testing systems for multi-Gb/s networks
Communication networks face nowadays a relentless increase in traffic load. Multi-Gb/s links are becoming widespread, and network devices are under a continuous stress, so testing whether they guarantee the specified throughput or delay is a must. Software-based solutions, such as the packet-train traffic injection, were adequate for lower speeds, but they have turned inaccurate in the current ...
متن کاملCompiling Deep Learning Models for Custom Hardware Accelerators
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the core of most state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms specialized for object detection and classification. CNNs are both computationally complex and embarrassingly parallel. Two properties that leave room for potential software and hardware optimizations for embedded systems. Given a programmable hardware accelerator with a CNN oriented custom instr...
متن کاملAn FPGA-Based Hardware Accelerator for Energy-Efficient Bitmap Index Creation
Bitmap index is recognized as a promising candidate for online analytics processing systems, because it effectively supports not only parallel processing but also complex and multi-dimensional queries. However, bitmap index creation is a time-consuming task. In this study, by taking full advantage of massive parallel computing of field-programmable gate array (FPGA), two hardware accelerators o...
متن کاملUltra-high bandwidth quantum secured data transmission
Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides an attractive means for securing communications in optical fibre networks. However, deployment of the technology has been hampered by the frequent need for dedicated dark fibres to segregate the very weak quantum signals from conventional traffic. Up until now the coexistence of QKD with data has been limited to bandwidths that are orders of magnitude bel...
متن کاملDesign of a Multigigabit Optical Network Interface Card
High-speed optical data links enable local area networks (LANs) that operate at data rates above 10 Gb/s. Various network, protocol and switch architectures have been proposed that use these links. The optical network interface card (ONIC) is an important component for demonstrating efficient application of these architectures. In this paper, we describe the design of a programmable ONIC that i...
