September software release features 4-port 100G top-of-rack switch reference design
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 4, 2013 — (PRNewswire) — In a continuing move to help make network infrastructure systems more responsive to applications' dynamic needs, Tabula, Inc., announced today the availability of version 2.7.2 of its Stylus® compiler supporting its ABAX®2 P-Series of devices. The new capabilities of Stylus compiler include a 100G top-of-rack (ToR) switch reference design targeting next-generation datacenters, along with several new features aimed at further improving user experience.4-Port 100G Top-of-Rack Switch Reference Design:
This reference design lays the foundation for an Ethernet switch development platform using ABAX2 devices. With the advance of 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) technology for datacenters, there is a growing demand for silicon systems that support line-rate packet processing. This reference design demonstrates how the Spacetime® architecture combined with the ABAX2 device's rich feature set and capabilities can be applied to these high-performance systems in the domain of 100 GbE packet processing and switching. This reference design consists of a collection of functional blocks which provides a platform for classification, filtering, forwarding and scheduling of packets on networks with 100 GbE interfaces.
More about Stylus compiler
Stylus compiler provides a synthesis, placement, and routing flow familiar to FPGA designers, using industry-standard RTL inputs and design constraints. The suite automatically exploits the unique advantages of Tabula's 3D Spacetime architecture, unleashing the ABAX2 3PLDs' unmatched capabilities and achieving unparalleled performance with surprising ease. The software integrates cutting-edge timing-closure technologies, including sequential timing, router-aware placement, and automatic co-optimization of performance and density. In addition, to help users take full advantage of the ABAX2 P-Series of device's unmatched embedded RAM capacity and throughput, Stylus compiler transparently infers multi-port memories (up to 24 ports) from RTL, automatically packing small user memories and folding wide user memories into the device's on-chip RAM blocks.
Availability:
Stylus version 2.7.2 is available now
