Xilinx Conference Participation
Wednesday, April 15
8:30 am – 9:40 am, Forum 1A
Why 25GbE Is the
Best Choice for Data Centers by Gilles Garcia, Director of Wired Communications
at Xilinx
- This presentation discusses how 25G Ethernet IP for FPGAs
addresses throughput challenges in data centers, offers new
opportunities to upgrade 10G connectivity, helps reduce data center
TCO, and delivers a large performance increase for servers and top
of rack switches.
9:50 am – 10:50 am, Forum 1A
400GbE: Current
Status and Issues by Mark
Gustlin, Principal System Architect at Xilinx
- An update will describe 400GbE current status and the major
issues under consideration, including current thinking about the
architecture. The issue of defining logic layers to support
the requirements of carrying 400 Gb/s of data across up to 16
physical lines with complex encoding needs will be discussed.
3:20 pm – 4:25 pm, Session B
Maximizing
Application Acceleration with FPGAs by Shreyas Shah, Data Center Architect at
Xilinx
- This presentation provides an in-depth understanding of FPGA
applicability in application acceleration markets and the
significant role FPGA plays in data centers.
4:50 pm – 5:40 pm, Forum 1C
FlexEthernet: A
Single Protocol for All Ethernet Interfaces by Mark Gustlin, Principal System Architect at
Xilinx
- Learn how FlexEthernet is being defined and how a FlexEthernet
interface operates. Details of the proposed protocol and how it
coexists with existing Ethernet will be discussed.
Thursday, April 16
8:30 am – 9:40 am, Forum 2A
Implementing SDN
in FPGAs over All Gigabit-Level Ethernet Standards by
Gordon Brebner, Distinguished
Engineer at Xilinx
- This talk explains how the Xilinx® SDNet™ design environment
allows the specification of packet processing data planes for
software defined networking, and how it can provide the automatic
compilation of the same high-level specification to hardware
implementations that operate in the 1G to 400G range. It will
also discuss how FPGA technology can be deployed without deep
hardware expertise and without requiring different hardware for
differing Ethernet speeds and differing packet processing
functions.
9:50 am – 10:50 am, Forum 2A
Ethernet in Cloud
Radio Access Network (RAN) Fronthauling by Harpinder Matharu, Senior Product Manager at
Xilinx
- This presentation discusses how use of Ethernet in the Cloud
RAN fronthaul, while identifying associated challenges, could act
as a catalyst to the adoption of SDN/NFV technologies in the
wireless infrastructure.
9:50 am – 10:50 am, Session A
400GbE Core
Routing Implementation by Paul Mooney, Senior Product Marketing Manager at
Spirent, Wael Diab, Senior Director
at Huawei, and Gilles Garcia,
Director of Wired Communications at Xilinx.
- In this session Huawei, Xilinx and Spirent will discuss their
collaboration on an operational 400GbE link using the Huawei N5000E
core routing platform, Xilinx® Virtex®-7 FPGAs and the Spirent
TestCenter 400GbE test module.
Xilinx Demonstrations – Booth #100
- Single Chip 400GE Solution Featuring the Virtex UltraScale
Device
This end-to-end solution demonstration showcases the
industry's first single-chip 400GbE solution featuring the Xilinx®
Virtex® UltraScale™ VU095 device connected to four sets of Sumitomo
Electric CFP4 LR4 modules, connected to the Spirent Communications
400GE test solution with four sets of Oclaro CFP2 LR4 modules.
- Low Latency 4x25G Ethernet MAC Solution
This
demonstration utilizes the Virtex UltraScale VCU107 board with the
Xilinx low latency 25G Ethernet MAC IP supporting the 25G Ethernet
Consortium specification.
