Nallatech Software Tools on the Maxwell FPGA Parallel Computer

چکیده

The FPGA High Performance Computing Alliance built a 64 FPGA parallel Computer called “Maxwell” at EPCC in Edinburgh. Half of the FPGAs are from Nallatech and half from AlphaData. This poster paper presents the experience of beginning to program the Nallatech half of the machine with the Nallatech software stack, consisting of DIME-C and DIMEtalk. Also covered is the glue-layer template library written to allow user software to interface to the FPGA more easily with the DIMEtalk libraries.

Is Altera’s OpenCL SDK ready for business?

Software engineers can now add FPGAs to their HPC arsenal with Altera’s OpenCL SDK along with compatible FPGA platforms from vendors such as Nallatech. We have used a case study of challenging problems from Computational Finance to verify this claim. Our OpenCL FPGA implementations achieved performance 256 times faster than a sequential CPU implementation, which is better than the 240 times spe...

FPGA Implementation of a Frame Synchronization Algorithm for Powerline Communications

This paper presents an FPGA implementation of a pilot–based time synchronization scheme employing orthogonal frequency division multiplexing for powerline communication channels. The functionality of the algorithm is analyzed and tested over a real powerline residential network. For this purpose, an appropriate transmitter circuit, implemented by an FPGA, and suitable coupling circuits are cons...

Self authentication path insertion in FPGA-based design flow for tamper-resistant purpose

FPGA platforms have been widely used in many modern digital applications due to their low prototyping cost, short time-to-market and flexibility. Field-programmability of FPGA bitstream has made it as a flexible and easy-to-use platform. However, access to bitstream degraded the security of FPGA IPs because there is no efficient method to authenticate the originality of bitstream by the FPGA pr...
