Xilinx Participation at OpenPOWER Summit 2015
"A Study of Key Workloads for High Efficiency Compute with
POWER8 CAPI and Xilinx FPGA Accelerators" by
Lifeng Wang, Wired System Architect
at Xilinx
- Leveraging coherent memory integration via IBM's CAPI
interface, IBM POWER8 CPUs combined with Xilinx FPGA accelerators
provide higher compute efficiency, lower power utilization and
total cost of ownership for critical workloads in data centers and
HPC. This presentation features the UC Berkeley ParLab Roofline
Model and highlights the superior performance of the Power8 CAPI
interface and Xilinx FPGAs compared to architectural
alternatives.
Technical Demonstrations in the IBM OpenPOWER booth
- Key Value Store Application Acceleration
Solution
Xilinx is showcasing a Key Value Store (KVS)
application acceleration demo leveraging the Alpha Data
ADM-PCIE-7V3 board integrated within an OpenPOWER system utilizing
state-of-the-art Spirent test equipment. OpenPOWER's coherent
accelerator processor interface (CAPI) enables the solution to
scale to 60Gbps throughput and two TeraBytes of storage whereby the
FPGA acceleration ensures 36x improved performance/watt at 10x-100x
lower latency versus a software-only implementation. This
demonstration is a broadly applicable big data workload
acceleration engine for applications such as memcached and
NoSQL.
- Alpha Data OpenPOWER CAPI Acceleration Solution
This
demonstration features the Alpha Data ADM-PCIE-7V3 PCIe® form
factor add-in card utilizing Xilinx's FPGAs to accelerate big data
workloads. The ADM-PCIE-7V3 is IBM Power8 CAPI capable and
incorporates a Xilinx Virtex®-7 X690T FPGA with dual 10Gigabit SFP+
ports for direct networking attach, two on-board SO-DIMMs for
computing from local memory, and dual SATA interfaces for local
data storage. OpenPOWER systems with Alpha Data co-processors
provide an ideal solution for next-generation
data-centers.
