FPGA based Co-processor for reducing CPU burden on TCP/IP processing
by Unknown on Mar 11, 2008 |

Hi All:
I am new in FPGA design and am currently doing a personal research project on how to implement a co-processor using HyperTransport technology. The co-processor is to be used to reduce the burden of the host CPU (AMD Opteron) in processing TCP/IP protocols.
Can you provide me some ideas on this to come up with a rough prototype of the project?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Ricky

hi ricky
there are at least two companies out there with products and services
to support your idea. also cray is selling a high performance computing
system with such a combination.

yes, anything closed and high priced.
if you had the idea to make an homebrew board for that, for get it.
hypertransport is to fast to make a simple board by your self. if you
have a lot of experience with hardware design it's still possible but
you need a lot of time and realy good tools to manage it.
what is your background? (software engineer, hardware engineer,
embedded developer,...)
greetings

hey man, for personal research I think check this
http://www.em.avnet.com/evk/home/0,4534,CID%253D7816%2526CCD%253DUSA%2526SID%253DNoNav%2526DID%253DDF2%2526LID%253DNoNav%25255F%2526BID%253DDF2%2526CTP%253DEVK,00.html
Avnet Spartan 3 board, it has 10/100 Ethernet MAC, and PCI (not PCIe).
or some other board with similar facilities. (downside of this board
that it contains 1 M SRAM, it should contain 64/128M SDRAM,
search different catalogs and try to get more gates and DRAM bits)
-You can attach it to your PC PCI slot.
-Both PCI and Ethernet MAC Cores are available on OpenCores
-the rest of the FPGA will contain your TOE logic.
and you also need to write the software driver of this board.
i think if you can do enough TOE with this much hardware and PCI would
be more the enough for Packet DMA transfers.

Does the PCI core on OpenCores support DMA? I don't have any Verilog
experience, only some VHDL. I have this Avnet PCI development board
and am trying to make a PCI interface for an ADSL modem chipset.

Nathan

You can hook the opencores wishbone DMA controller to the back end of the
opencores PCI controller, so - yes.

I hate to say it, but it probably makes more sense to integrate the network interface -- both to reduce memory bandwidth and give you more direct control over it. At that point, you're a TOE Ethernet card. -hpa |
