NetCOPE: Platform for Rapid Development of Network Applications
Košek Martin, Ing.
Rapid development in area of network technologies and the bandwidthincrease to 1Gbps or 10Gbps puts more and more requirements to devices,that have to process or analyze a network traffic. The results fromnumerous research works show that the performance of conventionalprocessors is not sufficient for many applications. As an reasonablealternative the splitting of computation task between a processor andan acceleration card with FPGA chips is proposed. This paper describesthe basic scope of system architecture for rapid development of networkapplications based on the connection of a processor and an accelerationcard - NetCOPE. The proposed platform implements the parts common formost of applications such as I/O blocks, connection of an applicationacceleration core to a system bus and fast DMA transfers. Using theplatform a designer is concentrated on realization of the targetapplication only and can easily move its designs to differentdevelopment boards.
