Research Achievement of Parallel and Distributed Systems Fujitsu Laboratory

New Release: Comet Stream Processor/FPGA    
    We have aimed to manufacture the stream processor by the ASIC technology, which does the protocol processing at very high speed. This time, we developed the sream processor card equipped with FPGA chip (Xilinx XCV1000) and DES engine chip (Fujitsu CG61394). FPGA chip is equipped for the purpose of the increase of the circuit scale and the operation speed improvement which can be made for trial purposes. Moreover, DES engine chip was installed on this caed for the speed up of the security function (IPSec) on the internet. It is known that this technology is considerably heavy processing, while it is indispensable function on the internet, and it is expected to treat with hardware. We confirmed to have the processing performance of 22MByte per second in the IPSec communication as a result of this evaluation. The next generation Comet NP/ASIC will be capable of the processing performance of 88MByte per second.   

Comet -Compact PCI-    

    We released a Comet board which meets standards of Compact PCI. Currently, we put the electricity supply on this, and checked the basic works with some checking programs. For complete experiments, we are running DV/IP software program with some networking cards mounted on this board.   
PDS-Fujitsu lab. made the "Comet" network adapter, which processes Internet protocol in 40usec. (1998).
1998 Version
1999 Version

Parallel and Distributed systems Fujitsu lab. is developing the Gigabit Internet Technologies on commodity Computer Systems (PC, WS) as follows. 

  1. Comet Network Adapter:   A network adapter with protocol processing ability
  2. Comet VIA:                      A new TCP/IP API for low overhead communication based VIA
  3. Internet Applications
Comet Network Adapter is equipped Protocol Handling Processor which processes Internet Protocols on the adapter. It provides several new services which need high speed and real-time processing never achieved on OS's kernel processing. PDS-Fujitsu lab. showed the performance by realizing a Real-time Digital Video Stream Communication and demonstrating a high speed communication using Comet VIA at SC'98 exhibition.
