P4-NetFPGA Workflow for Networking Researchers

At the 2017 P4 Developer Day, Xilinx will introduce the P4-NetFPGA workflow for networking researchers, developed in collaboration with Stanford University and the University of Cambridge. The new workflow couples the new Xilinx P416 to FPGA compilation capability with the Xilinx technology-powered open source NetFPGA SUME platform for networking research (netfpga.org). It allows researchers to easily conduct experiments in hardware operating at line rate. At the Developer Day, there will be a half-day hands-on laboratory allowing attendees to gain experience with P4-NetFPGA, including implementing In-band Network Telemetry.

P416-to-FPGA Compilation Demonstration

At the 2017 P4 Workshop, where the new P416 language specification will be discussed, Xilinx will debut its P416 to FPGA compilation flow based on the Xilinx SDNet Development Environment for Networking. SDNet supports FPGA packet processing rates between 1 Gb/sec and 100 Gb/sec. At the workshop, an industry-first demonstration of joint work by Xilinx Labs and Stanford University will show stateful data plane processing for the TCP protocol implemented by compiling a P416 program to a Xilinx FPGA.
