March 26 (Thursday), 1:30-2:00 pm, Room 410

A presentation entitled "Programmable Hardware for High-Performance SDN" was presented by Xilinx Distinguished Engineer Gordon Brebner.

· This presentation will show how field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) provide flexible bridges between outgoing photonics and next-generation data center servers through programmable hardware.

Xilinx Live Demo - Booth 729:

High-density 100G OTN switching solution with a single Virtex UltraScale FPGA

This demonstration demonstrates Xilinx's high-density OTN switching solution with its Virtex® UltraScaleTM VU095 device. The device not only supports 2x100G OTN switching applications, but also provides an upgrade path that allows the solution to be upgraded to a 4/5x100G OTN switching solution with a larger capacity Virtex UltraScale VU190 device.

· Single-chip 400G Ethernet solution with Virtex FPGA UltraScale

This end-to-end solution demonstration demonstrates the industry's first single-chip 400GE solution using the Xilinx Virtex UltraScale VU095 device; the device is connected to four Sumitomo Electric CFP4 LR4 modules via a quasi-standard 400GE MAC and PCS IP. Four sets of JDSU LR4 modules are connected to the JDSU ONT 400GE test solution.

· Low latency 4x25G Ethernet MAC solution

This demonstration demonstrates how the Virtex UltraScale VCU107 development board communicates with the QSFP28 form factor development board of the Ixia Xcellon-MulTIs QSFP28 100/4x25GE input module via a 3 meter long direct copper cable and 4 channels of 25G Ethernet. The Xilinx low-latency 25G Ethernet MAC supports the 25G Ethernet Alliance specification and will support future IEEE 25GE specifications in the future.

· Effective OTU2r solution

This quasi-standard OTU2r (carrying CPRI via OTN technology) demonstration demonstrates how to maximize the efficiency of the outbound link. The demonstration uses a JDSU tester to provide CPRI signals (Kintex®-7 FPGA) and then maps to the OTU2r container.

Demonstration of the technology implemented by Xilinx throughout the OFC Pavilion:

Dini Group - Booth 727

· For latency-sensitive applications, Xilinx Alliance members demonstrated the TCP offload engine (TOE128) running on the Kintex UltraScale FPGA on the Dini Group's PCIe_40G_KU_LL platform.

Ethernet Alliance - Booth 2531

· The demonstration demonstrates Xilinx's built-in integrated 100G Ethernet MAC and the new 100G IEEE802.3bj RS-FEC IP Virtex UltraScale device to support the 40km optical link by driving the Finisar CFP4 ER4f optical module.

Ixia - Booth 2737

· This demonstration demonstrates how the Virtex UltraScale VCU107 development board communicates with the QSFP28 form factor development board of the Ixia Xcellon-MulTIs QSFP28 100/4x25GE input module over a 3 meter long straight copper cable and 4 channels of 25G Ethernet.

· This demo demonstrates the features and features of the Xilinx Virtex UltraScale VU095 device; it can be connected to four CFP4 LR4 modules and connected to the Ixia 400GE Jumpstart test solution via four Finisar CFP4 LR4 modules. In addition, the demonstration demonstrates the interoperability of Ixia and Xilinx's quasi-standard 400GE MAC and PCS IP implementations on 4x100G optical modules.
