Ultra Low Latency 10G TCP Endpoint

The TCP Endpoint implements a full, reliable streaming network stack in FPGA logic.

Overview

The TCP Endpoint implements a full, reliable streaming network stack in FPGA logic. It allows applications in logic to be directly connected to Internet Protocol (IP) interfaces by opening, maintaining, and closing TCP Connections via Ethernet to other hardware or software endpoints.

The mature, reliable, and network-tested TCP Endpoint delivers high performance with ultra-low latency. It runs at the full 10 Gigabit Ethernet line rate with a clock speed synchronous with a MAC and application processing logic. It supports full duplex rates of 20 Gbps per instance. The implementation is portable between Intel and Xilinx FPGA devices and has been deployed on multiple platforms.

The TCP Endpoint is available as a pre-integrated component in low latency applications or as a standalone IP. It has been deployed in customer applications including pre-trade risk-checks, complete tick-to-trade applications, and other flow processing applications. Algo-Logic provides in-house engineering support to ensure complete solution delivery with support for end-system and application-level fastest deployments.

Implementing Ultra Low Latency Data Center Services with Programmable Logic

Data centers require many low-level network services to implement high-level applications. Key-Value Store (KVS) is a critical service that associates values with keys and allows machines to share these associations over a network. Most existing KVS systems run in software and scale out by running parallel processes on multiple microprocessor cores to increase throughput.

Enhancing Ethernet Security with MACsec

Ethernet was originally designed for high-speed data transfer and interoperability between devices. However, traditional Ethernet does not provide built-in mechanisms for securing data traffic, such as encryption or authenticity protection. This is where MACsec comes into the picture.
