High Speed Serial Network Environment on DCP

DCP 환경에서의 고속 Serial 네트웍 환경구현

Nowadays, we can enjoy access to high speed network and advanced services of convergence between broadcasting and communication anywhere and anytime through a ubiquitous computing. So, now digital convergence devices come out constantly. These devices are required faster network environment for high speed data processing than before. In this paper, we describe the design of InfiniBnad network adapter, which is included two FPGA chipsets. When this adapter is installed to Digital Convergence Platform (DCP) network performance will be improved. The adapter includes 12channel serial ports for external communication and internally, uses PCI-Express bus. We have finished the test of high speed serial based network adapter through composing complete InfiniBand network and applied fabric management software. So, we have verified that it can be applied on DCP environment.
