Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Tightly Coupled Accelerators (TCA) architecture is consisting of heterogeneous nodes connected with a low-latency high-bandwidth network which allows accelerators to communicate directly. PEACH(PCI Express Adaptive Communication Hub) is a switch which connects multiple nodes with PCIe to build a ring based network in which PCIe packets are directly forwarded. PEACH2, the current version of PEACH uses Altera's FPGA Stratix IV GX and provides four PCIe Gen2 x 8 ports to form a stand-alone network. PEACH3, an advanced version of PEACH2, is developed and its preliminary evaluation result is shown. PCIe Gen2 is changed into Gen3 and the internal bus is extended from 128bits to 256bits. PEACH3 is implemented with Altera's Stratix V FPGA which works at 250MHz clock, and provides four PCIe Gen3 x 8 ports. The stable communication between two nodes through two PCIe Gen3 connected PEACH3 boards was successfully done, and the communication bandwidth between two nodes was up to 6.9GB/sec, about 87% of maximum performance of PCI Gen3 specification.
