Poznań, Poland, 20-24 of May, 2013
Poznan University of Technology, Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications
If you have no luck to attend this camp, you still can grab a piece of it by attending seminar of Andrew Moore. It will be an open access lecture. Our guest from University of Cambridge will talk about programmable network devices, He will present NetFPGA cards and their world. The biography of presenter can be found in Tutors section.
Date/Time: May 23 2013, 13.30 - 14.30
Location: Room 201, Polanka 3, Faculty of Electronics and Telecomunications Building, Pozań.
Abstract of lecture:
The NetFPGA is an open platform enabling researchers and instructors to build high-speed, hardware-accelerated networking systems. The NetFPGA is the de-facto experimental platform for line-rate implementations of network research and it continues with a new generation platform capable of 4x10Gbps.
The target audience is not restricted to hardware researchers: the NetFPGA provides the ideal platform for research across a wide range of networking topics from architecture to algorithms and from energy-efficient design to routing and forwarding. The most prominent NetFPGA success is OpenFlow, which in turn has reignited the Software Defined Networking movement. NetFPGA enabled OpenFlow by providing a widely available open-source development platform capable of line-rate and was, until its commercial uptake, the reference platform for OpenFlow. NetFPGA enables high-impact network research.
This seminar will combine presentation and demonstration; no knowledge of hardware programming languages (eg Verilog/VHDL) is required.
Build an Internet router and learn about clean-slate switches in a 5-day spring school will be held at Poznan University of Technology in Poznań, Poland.
This event will be like previous summer-school events but, excitingly, will be the first NetFPGA event to exclusively use the new NetFPGA 10G boards.
The NetFPGA platform originated at Stanford University and more-recently updated NetFPGA (10Gb/s) have been developed in collaboration with Cambridge University. The NetFPGA platform enables researchers and instructors to build high-speed, hardware-accelerated networking systems. The platform can be used in the classroom to teach students how to build Ethernet switches and Internet Prototcol (IP) routers using hardware rather than software. The platform can be used by researchers to prototype advanced services for next-generation networks.
By using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), the NetFPGA enables new types of packet routing circuits to be implemented and detailed measurements of network traffic to be obtained. During the tutorial, we will use the NetFPGA to determine the amount of memory needed to buffer TCP/IP data streaming through the Gigabit/second router. Hardware circuits within the NetFPGA will be implemented to measure and plot the occupancy of buffers. Circuits will be downloaded into reconfigurable hardware and tested with live, streaming Internet video traffic.
