Xilinx Showcases Industry's First FPGA-based 80Gbps Network Interface Card (NIC) and New Intel QPI Interface Implementation at IDF13
Based on Xilinx SmartCORE IP, 80Gbps Traffic Manager NIC and QPI interface solutions deliver significant performance gain and latency reduction
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IDF 2013 -- At IDF 2013 (Booth 805), Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) is showcasing the industry's first FPGA-based 80Gbps NIC solution with integrated Traffic Manager (TM) and an implementation of an FPGA connecting to the new Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v2 processor via the Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) protocol. The technical demonstrations are based on Xilinx's All Programmable devices and SmartCORE(TM) IP, enabling the development of high-performance computing platforms and data center appliances. These solutions deliver the industry's highest throughput with the lowest latency at very low power consumption, addressing the industry's low power mandate for next generation smarter data centers.

"High-performance, low latency efficient hardware options will continue to draw demand as IT and data center facilities teams struggle with limited resources, increasing costs, explosive network traffic and relentless demand for compute performance from the business and data centers," said Hemant Dhulla, Vice President of Wired Communications at Xilinx. "Xilinx All Programmable solutions are helping organizations find ways to manage demands against ever-growing business and data center constraints."
"Xilinx's All Programmable devices combined with our processors offer a low latency solution for users requiring I/O expansion or application acceleration of their systems," said Stephen Price, General Manager at Intel. "Xilinx's support for these technologies allows us to help customers develop platforms that can manage their IT infrastructure intuitively, with built-in intelligence for the highest optimization and further our capabilities in offering customers better IT and data center solutions that integrate easily into existing infrastructure."
About the Demonstrations
-- 80Gbps Network Interface Card (NIC) - The Xilinx 80Gbps NIC is a highly
integrated platform that is based upon a single All Programmable device
which implements a Traffic Manager SmartCORE IP, DMA controller, the
PCIe ports, and the two 40G Ethernet ports, replacing two ASSPs for
superior throughput, lower BOM cost, and lower power consumption. This
single-chip solution highlights a feature rich, highly programmable,
traffic manager for optimal network quality of service (QoS) and is
ideal for high-bandwidth applications, such as routers and appliances
for enterprise network monitoring and security.
-- Intel QPI Interface Solution - The Intel QPI Interface solution offers
developers a low latency, high-performance FPGA based interface to the
latest Intel processors. This demonstration includes a Xilinx® 7 series
FPGA communicating with the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 processor via the QPI
1.1 interface. It leverages the Native Loopback hardware and software to
validate the data exchange between the FPGA and CPU. The FPGA based QPI
interface allows designers to offer application acceleration, scale-up
high end servers with Node Controller or extend the reach of the
processor with expansion to additional PCIe ports, memory connections
and NIC interfaces.
Availability
The 80Gbps NIC and the Intel QPI Interface solutions are available now. To learn more, contact your local Xilinx sales representative and visit http://www.xilinx.com/applications/data-center/index.html.
