1 DINI Group FPGA-based Cluster computing with Spartan-6 Mike Dini Sept

2 The DINI Group We make big FPGA boards Xilinx, Altera 2

3 The DINI Group 15 employees in downtown La Jolla A little north of San Diego, California Started as ASIC/FPGA design consultants in 1995 First product was the DN250k10 (1998) 6 FPGAs Based on 4000-series Xilinx FPGAs 6 XC4085 s And then Xilinx Virtex, Virtex-E, V2Pro, V4, V5, V6 Altera Stratix, Stratix2, S3/4 We are FPGA specialists 3

4 Overview of Product Line Goal: Provide customers a cost-effective vehicle to use the biggest and fastest state of the art FPGAs Large expensive FPGAs (>$5000) Xilinx: Virtex-6 Altera: Stratix IV Cheap FPGAs (~=$100) Xilinx: Spartan-6 Altera: Cyclone III/IV

5 Altera Stratix IV 130M ASIC gates Uncle of Monster 5

6 DN7020k10: 20 Stratix-IV FPGAs - Largest FPGA board ever shipped - 13 million LUT/FF s (130 million ASIC gates) - $xxx with 20 4SE820s

7 7

8 FPGAs applied to HPC: Bioinformatics/Genomic SW/BLAST V6 P&R encryption/decryption monte carlo atomic modeling encryption/ssl Algorithms Analyzed graphics (3D) imaging (ultrasound/cat) oil exploration DSP stuff ImpulseC Celoxica/HandelC Matlab to gates CDMA decode GPS correlation video compression So, we need FPGAs, high-speed memories (big), high speed memories (small), and a manner to move large amounts of data. All at the best logic/speed/capacity price point and within a power budget. 8

9 FPGA Choices for HPC Xilinx and Altera Xilinx: Virtex-6, Spartan-6 Altera: Stratix-4, Cyclone III/IV Virtex-6, Stratix-4 bigger and faster And 5x-10x more expensive measure in $$$/performance So for HPC, Spartan and Cyclone are the only viable choices. 9

14 We use the Spartan-6 LX150 and LX150T Largest planned/announced device in family FGG484 package, RoHS LX150: Field FPGAs, 12 total Can have identical or different bit files LX150T: Dataflow Manager FGG676 Three speed grades LX150: -1L,-2, -3 LX150T: -2, -3, -4 Relevance? FPGA

15 FPGA Status (Xilinx Spartan-6) Shipping now with ES parts. Supply is very, very tight Story about how Xilinx botched this is entertaining And a little depressing. Quantity shipments (production parts) in ~Sept 10 Serious questions about routing Useful maximum utilization percentages questionable SSO issues in LX150T et al.

16 Number 1 constraint for FPGA-based acceleration is power/cooling We solve this issue. Power/Cooling We ignore the 25W/slot maximum from the PCIe specification Board power supplied from topside connector Passive heatsinks assume LOTS of airflow Goal/Spec is to allow 50W per board

17 Memory Spartan-6 has integrated external memory controllers with LOTS of functionality We use a single DDR3 memory per field FPGA 2 DDR3 chips for Dataflow controller Presently stuffing 2Gb device (128M x 16) Goal is to get to 400 MHz (800 Mb/s per pin) Freq is dependent on speed grade stuffed Some specmanship and characterization will probably reduce this number a bit. 100% of the Memory Block Controller is dedicated to the user application Much reference material provided

18 Hosting via PCIe Standard, homegrown 4-lane PCIe core Virtex-6 LX130T GEN1/GEN2 Master moding engines PCIe core is fixed and NOT modifiable by user Don t want user **anywhere** near this function. Timing, Xilinx bugs, et al. PCIe bridge is field upgradeable

19 Interconnect FPGA FPGA I/O performance All single-ended Nearest neighbor connections 77 horizontal, 64 vertical Recommend using I/O FF Goal is to get to 150 MHz Source synchronous With DDR, this is 300 Mbits/sec per pin I/O FF and DDR functionality built-in to I/O block 19

20 Inter Chassis communication and Dataflow Manager FPGA (LX150T) has 8 highspeed GTP serial transceivers Gb/s per lane Transmit and receive are independent 4-lanes each on two topside connectors Aurora protocol Expansion 4-lanes bounded should get to ~1 Gbyte/sec So there is ~4 Gbyte/s throughput capability on the 2 connectors 20

21 Inter Chassis communication and Board to board dataflow completely independent from the host processor Inter chassis External peripheral expansion Expansion Requires user intervention DINI to provide libraries and reference designs

22 Clocking and Debug Configurable global clock MHz 350 MHz in 1 MHz increments 100 MHz clock MB (main bus) clock JTAG is connected for use with ChipScope Or other third party debug solutions

23 What We Provide vs. What You Need Customer tool flow: Simulation (verilog/vhdl) Most often: ModelSim Synthesis Xilinx/Altera tools work fine Expensive, third party synthesis tools no longer needed and no longer necessary Place/Route Comes from FPGA vendor: Xilinx/Altera Debug Chipscope, SignalTap, and other third party solutions 23
