Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) - Breaking the Network Aggregation
The networking industry is moving faster than ever before. The reason to expedite the pace lies in the network device disaggregation which leads to the evolution of the white box switch concept. What enables the network disaggregation? What are the problems with traditional networking? Let us look at it in the discourse ahead.Articles for the Week of July 23, 2018
Usage of Multibit Flip-Flop and its Challenges in ASIC Physical Design
The continuous need for reduced size of the chip in the VLSI industry brings exciting challenges to the layout engineers for designing better and high-performing integrated circuits, which needs to consume low power even while reducing the silicon area and cost involved. Internal power is a component of the total power consumed by the chip, which is becoming more challenging to handle with the shrinking technology nodes.Articles for the Week of July 16, 2018
4K Video over IP workflows
Considering the necessary bandwidth for the next generation of television with UHDTV resolutions and higher frame rates, live uncompressed transport across 10GB Ethernet network or existing SDI infrastructure is not possible anymore. In fact, uncompressed 4K video at 60fps 4:2:2 requires 12Gbps or more for 4:4:4.Articles for the Week of July 9, 2018
Sharing NVMe SSDs for heterogeneous architectures
New computing applications, such as big data analytics and deep learning, need very optimized and well balanced computing, networking and storage resources. After being developed on CPU-centric architectures, it is now going on heterogeneous architectures by using computing accelerators like FPGAs and GPUs.Articles for the Week of July 2, 2018
Convey UHD 4K Video over 1Gbit Ethernet with the intoPIX JPEG 2000 "Ultra Low Latency" compression profile
Considering the uncompressed bandwidth of a UHD 4K video stream in 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 and the massive amount of deployed Gigabit Ethernet infrastructures, a codec that can offer the same benefits in terms of quality, latency and reliability as uncompressed transport, with a sufficient compression ratio to go under 1Gbit/second, is a key advantage.
