NetFPGA Summer Course 2015
Speakers: Noa Zilberman & Yury Audzevich
Host: Mark Silberstein
NetFPGA is an open source platform enabling
researchers and instructors to build high-speed hardware-accelerated
networking systems. The NetFPGA is the de-factor experimental platform
for line-rate implementations of network research and it has a family of
boards, supporting from 1GE to 100GE. This course will provide an
introduction to prototyping and using high bandwidth networking devices
on the NetFPGA – SUME platform, and discuss considerations in architecture and design for high performance
devices. During the course the students will design and implement a
project.
This course is focused on the NetFPGA-SUME
platform. Attendees will utilize a Linux-based PC equipped with NetFPGA
hardware. Basic understanding of Ethernet switching and network routing
is expected. Past experience with Verilog is useful but not required.
The course is intended for students and
researchers interested in developing new hardware-accelerated network
applications.
The course attendance is free, but requires
registration. Register

Note that the Technion students who take the course
for academic credit will get priority in accessing NetFPGA hardware.
Short bio of our Tutors:
Noa Zilberman is a Research Associate at the
University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory in England. Zilberman has over
15 years of industrial experience in the telecommunication and semiconductor
industries. In her last role, Zilberman was a senior principal chip
architect in Broadcom’s Network Switching group. Her research interests
include open-source research using the NetFPGA platform, switching
architectures, high speed interfaces, network measurements and Internet
topology. Zilberman is a Senior Member of IEEE, a member of ACM and Usenix,
and has a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Tel Aviv University.
Yury Audzevich is a Research Associate at the
University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory in England. He is an expert on
energy-efficient designs for high-bandwidth networking devices, and was the
lead researcher of CONTEST (CONfigurable Transceiver Energy uSage Toolkit).
Previously, he was an Alcatel-Lucent Research Associate at the University of
Trento. His current research interests lie in the field of reconfigurable
systems, circuit design and energy-efficiency aspects in communication
architectures. Audzevich obtained his PhD in Information and
Telecommunication technologies from the University of Trento.
