\u2014 ESnet6 leverages AMD<\/span> adaptive networking technology for packet monitoring at extremely high transfer rates and to allow for continuous innovation in the network \u2014<\/h3>\n

SANTA<\/span> CLARA<\/span>, Calif., Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE<\/span> NEWSWIRE<\/span>) \u2014 Today AMD<\/span><\/a> (NASDAQ<\/span>: AMD<\/span>) announ\u00adced its col\u00adla\u00adbo\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon with the Ener\u00adgy Sci\u00aden\u00adces Net\u00adwork (ESnet) on the launch of ESnet6, the newest gene\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon of the U.S. Depart\u00adment of Energy\u2019s (DOE<\/span>\u2019s) high-per\u00adfor\u00admance net\u00adwork dedi\u00adca\u00adted to science.<\/p>\n

AMD<\/span> work\u00aded clo\u00adse\u00adly with ESnet sin\u00adce 2018 to inte\u00adgra\u00adte powerful adap\u00adti\u00adve com\u00adpu\u00adting for the smart and pro\u00adgramma\u00adble net\u00adwork nodes of ESnet6. ESnet6\u2019s extre\u00adme sca\u00adle packet moni\u00adto\u00adring sys\u00adtem uses AMD<\/span> Alveo\u2122 U280<\/span> FPGA-based net\u00adwork-atta\u00adched acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adtor cards at the core net\u00adwork swit\u00adching nodes. This will enable high-touch packet pro\u00adces\u00adsing and help impro\u00adve the accu\u00adra\u00adcy of net\u00adwork moni\u00adto\u00adring and manage\u00adment to enhan\u00adce per\u00adfor\u00admance. The pro\u00adgramma\u00adble hard\u00adware allows for new capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties to be added for con\u00adti\u00adnuous inno\u00adva\u00adti\u00adon in the network.<\/p>\n

In order to cus\u00adto\u00admi\u00adze AMD<\/span> Alveo U280<\/span> 2x100Gb\/s acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adtors as net\u00adwork inter\u00adface cards (NIC<\/span>) for ESnet6, the Open\u00adNIC over\u00adlay \u2013 deve\u00adlo\u00adped by AMD<\/span> \u2013 was used to pro\u00advi\u00adde stan\u00addard net\u00adwork-inter\u00adface and host-attach\u00adment hard\u00adware, allo\u00adwing novel and expe\u00adri\u00admen\u00adtal net\u00adwor\u00adking func\u00adtions to be imple\u00admen\u00adted easi\u00adly on the Alveo card. Open\u00adNIC has sin\u00adce been open-sourced after being suc\u00adcessful\u00adly used and evol\u00adved by ESnet, as well as various lea\u00adding aca\u00adde\u00admic rese\u00adarch groups. Also important for rapid inno\u00adva\u00adti\u00adon by non-hard\u00adware experts was the use of the AMD<\/span> VitisNetP4 deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment tools for com\u00adpi\u00adling the P4<\/span> packet pro\u00adces\u00adsing lan\u00adguage to FPGA<\/span> hardware.<\/p>\n

AMD<\/span> Alveo U280<\/span> cards, using Open\u00adNIC and VitisNetP4, are being deploy\u00aded on every node of the ESnet6 net\u00adwork. The high-touch approach based on FPGA-acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adted pro\u00adces\u00adsing allows every packet in the ESnet6 net\u00adwork to be moni\u00adto\u00adred at extre\u00adme\u00adly high trans\u00adfer rates to enable deep insights into the beha\u00advi\u00ador of the net\u00adwork, as well as hel\u00adping to rapidly detect and cor\u00adrect pro\u00adblems and hot spots in the net\u00adwork. The Alveo U280<\/span> card with Open\u00adNIC plat\u00adform also sup\u00adpli\u00ades the adap\u00adta\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty to allow the con\u00adti\u00adnuous roll-out of new capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties to the end user com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty as needs evol\u00adve over the life\u00adtime of ESnet6.<\/p>\n

The bene\u00adfits of AMD<\/span> adap\u00adti\u00adve com\u00adpu\u00adting at deman\u00adding net\u00adwork line rates are also appli\u00aded to the edges of the ESnet6 net\u00adwork. Glo\u00adbal\u00adly dis\u00adtri\u00adbu\u00adted sci\u00aden\u00adti\u00adfic instru\u00adments are the pri\u00adma\u00adry sources of the \u201cbig data\u201d sci\u00adence flows that ESnet must sup\u00adport. The Alveo card with Open\u00adNIC can be used for cus\u00adto\u00admi\u00adzed data fil\u00adte\u00adring and sha\u00adping befo\u00adre trans\u00admis\u00adsi\u00adon over ESnet. For super\u00adcom\u00adpu\u00adting faci\u00adli\u00adties, which are among the desti\u00adna\u00adti\u00adons for the\u00adse lar\u00adge data sets, the Alveo card with Open\u00adNIC can be used for load balan\u00adcing across com\u00adpu\u00adte and sto\u00adrage servers.<\/p>\n
