Datacenter-Scale Network Research on FPGAs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an FPGA-based datacenter network simulator to allow researchers to rapidly experiment with O(10, 000) node datacenter network architectures. We configure the FPGA hardware to implement abstract models of key datacenter building blocks including servers and all levels of switches. We discuss design and implementation issues of our FPGA models and show that it is practical to prototype and scale the testbed with a few low-cost FPGA boards.

متن کاملQuery processing for datacenter-scale computers
Quickly exploring massive datasets for insights requires an efficient data processing platform. Parallel database management systems were originally designed to scale only to a handful of nodes, where each node keeps recent (“hot”) data in memory and has directlyattached hard disk storage for infrequently accessed (“cold”) data. To keep pace with the growing data volumes, the research focus has...
متن کاملAttaining the Promise and Avoiding the Pitfalls of TCP in the Datacenter
Over the last several years, datacenter computing has become a pervasive part of the computing landscape. In spite of the success of the datacenter computing paradigm, there are significant challenges remaining to be solved—particularly in the area of networking. The success of TCP/IP in the Internet makes TCP/IP a natural candidate for datacenter network communication. A growing body of resear...
متن کاملCost-minimizing Bandwidth Guarantee for Inter-datacenter Traffic
The emerging deployment of large-scale cloud applications incurs significant inter-datacenter traffic, which makes the scarce wide-area bandwidth across data centers become the performance bottleneck. To achieve the desirable network performance, bandwidth guarantee should be provided for the resulting inter-datacenter traffic. However, the existing bandwidth allocation methods mainly focus on ...
متن کاملApplying NOX to the Datacenter
Internet datacenters offer unprecedented computing power for a new generation of data-intensive computational tasks. There is a rapidly growing literature on the operating and distributed systems issues raised by these datacenters, but only recently have researchers turned their attention to the datacenter’s unique set of networking challenges. In contrast to enterprise networks, which usually ...
