Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The authors consider applying FPGA Dynamic Partial Reconfiguration (DPR) technique to carrier network equipment built with FPGA accelerator board and OpenCL C based programming, to achieve reduction of compiling time of circuit configuration and In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) without using duplicated data plane. In this paper, assembling DPR areas into a straight chain and applying one-liner programming scheme are introduced and evaluated through a partial implementation of them. The result shows the DPR areas with GNU coreutils base64 command are expected to be placed 21 stages without ISSU and 12 stages with ISSU on Intel Stratix V SGXEA7N FPGA with 50% utilization.
