FPGA-Based Platform for Network Applications
FPGA, network application, gmii, xgmii, PCI, bus master
Increasing network bandwidth enables creation of more efficient and new client-server type applications but requires more computational power in the servers. This paper presents a qualitatively new approach to implementation of~the applications in such servers. The proposed approach relies on the FPGA-based hardware accelerator board that supports implementation of the~computational core of the applications or pre/post-processing of the data in the FPGA. Usage of such board relieves the server from the network-related data processing while leaving more computational power to the application itself. This paper demonstrates the proposed approach and describes the developed application platform containing 1 or 10 Gbps network interface, PCI interface, and CAM/SRAM/DRAM memory chips.
