Abstract(in English) In recent years, the growing applications of Big Data and Machine Learning require an enormous amount of computational effort in those systems. Thus, high-performance computing systems like a data center adopts a massively parallel system that can bring them dramatic performance improvement. However, the bandwidth of the inter-node network becomes the performance bottleneck of those systems because it is not sufficient for communication. It means this constrains the number of computing nodes in a system, namely system scalability. This article focuses on the flexible and extensible FPGA accelerator, which is widely used in today's supercomputers and data centers. The proposed approach is a communication framework by using an FPGA system with high-speed optical connections which connect among multiple FPGAs. The proposed concept was evaluated on a prototype cluster.
