TITLE: ALGO-LOGIC SUPPORTS NETFPGA PLATFORMS
Algo-Logic Systems is a new company formed by Dr. John W.Lockwood
to support the development of algorithms in logic on the NetFPGA
and related platforms. Based on the success of the NetFPGA alpha
and beta programs (over 1,000 NetFPGAs have been deployed thus
far worldwide), it is clear that hardware acceleration provides
many benefits in high-speed network systems. The challenge faced
outside of the academic community is the perception that
implementing algorithms in logic is still much harder than
writing code that runs on a traditional Von-Neumann processor.
The mission of Algo-Logic Systems is to help companies overcome
challenges in building high-speed networking system algorithms in
logic. Algo-Logic offers consulting services to help companies
define systems architectures, model system performance, and map
high-level network processing functionality into lower-level
logic that can be synthesized into hardware. The company also
provides design services to create customized L2-L7 packet
processing modules, integrate cores, and build test benches that
verify correct system operation. In the spirit of keeping the
systems as open as possible, Algo-Logic offers corporate training
to describe and document their operations.
There is ongoing support in place for the NetFPGA program to
present academic tutorials across the United States at
universities that might not otherwise have the means to build
their own NetFPGA laboratories. As mentioned at the
Developers Workshop in August, Google, Cisco, and Xilinx
recently provided additional funds to enable development
and deployment of a 4*10 Gigabit/second version of the
NetFPGA. All of these resources will remain readily
available to the community.
Dr. Lockwood will continue to stay actively involved in the
NetFPGA program. To facilitate ongoing interaction with the
local developers group, the Algo-Logic office is physically
located in downtown Palo Alto, just blocks away from Stanford
University. He will serve as co-chair of the upcoming NetFPGA
Developers workshop in Asia to be held in June of 2010 in Korea
to enable ongoing collaboration with the international community.
In order to help support the NetFPGA community, Algo-Logic will
both use and contribute to the NetFPGA project similarly to the
way that Red Hat supports the Linux community.
Details about all services are described on-line at: Algo-Logic
