[san-tech][02584] Fulcrum Next 40G Low Latency Ethernet Switch Architecture, IEEE Hot Interconnects 2010

Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:55:31 +0900
--------------------------------------------------
2010年 8月 18日~20日に開催された、IEEE Hot Interconnects 2010で
Fulcrum CTOの Uri Cummings氏のキーノート講演で、Fulcrumの次期スイッチ
チップの一端が紹介されました。
※講演資料は、IEEEサイトでは 1年後位に一般公開されるはずです。
Fulcrumは Blogで小出ししています。多分講演資料は Technical Paperで公開
されると思いす。

"Alta: The HSE Architecture for Where The Data Center is Going Next"
 August 18th, 2010
  http://www.fulcrummicro.com/blog/?p=573

  "CTO Uri Cummings outlined the next-generation Alta 40Gb switch chip
   architecture."

  "So, what is the Alta architecture?  Alta is a 40Gbps switch with
   integrated 10GB PHYs that keeps all of the benefits of the FocalPoint
   switch family, including 200 ns cut-through latency, which is still
   the lowest latency in an HSE switch to date."

  "With Alta, FlexPipe is combined with the output queued, shared
   memory architecture we’ve used in FocalPoint for several years now.
   This shared memory design is based on our proprietary RapidArray
   packet memory."

"Alta: An Introduction to FlexPipe High Performance Packet Pipeline"
 August 26th, 2010
  http://www.fulcrummicro.com/blog/?p=578

  "A billion packets per second is 3X the performance of Fulcrum's
   current generation of FocalPoint switch and it means that Alta-based
   switches will have the performance needed for applications such as
   virtualized data center networks."

  "There's much more to the FlexPipe, including the `Flex’ part, which
   refers to new programmability features that will be discussed in my
   next blog."
