Abstract

The demand-led growth of datacenter networks has meant that many constituent technologies are beyond the budget of the wider community. In order to make and validate timely and relevant new contributions, the wider community requires accessible evaluation, experimentation and demonstration environments with specification comparable to the subsystems of the most massive datacenter networks. We demonstrate NetFPGA SUME, an open-source FPGA-based PCIe board for rapid prototyping of high bandwidth devices. NetFPGA SUME has I/O capabilities for 100Gbps operation as a networking device, computing unit, or for test and measurement.
