[casper] CASPER 10 GbE yellow block

2013-02-13 Thread Rich Lacasse

Hi All,

Using the latest 10 GbE yellow block, has anyone achieved a sustained 
data rate of greater than 8 Gb/s?


Thanks,
Rich

Hi, Rich,

We've sustained 9.9 Gpbs simultaneously from two 10 GbE ports (19.8 Gbps 
aggregate) on a ROACH into a PC with two 10 GbE NICs without dropping any 
packets.  This was direct connect (i.e. no switch) and transmit only (i.e. no 
packets were sent back to the ROACH).

Hope this helps,
Dave

Rich, Dave, can you tell us the versions of the libraries you have?

 Hi, John,

 The benchmarking tests were done here by Christopher Schollar who was
 visiting from the University of Cape Town.  I'm not sure which library
 version he used, but I can find out.

It was mostly just curiosity on my part, but are you using the same blocks
for your work?

Hi, John,

My current work is on ROACH2 and the 10_Gbe_v2 block is the only 10 GbE block 
supported on ROACH2 so that's the one I'm currently designing with (but not yet 
using myself).  I'm not sure which block Christopher used in the packet 
generator.  His design ran on a ROACH so it could have been using the ten_GbE 
or ten_Gbe_v2 block.

Hi Dave and others,

I was under the impression that ten_Gbe_v2 was suppose to support ROACH2
as well. At least, its mask supports parameters specific to ROACH2 (such as
choice between CX4, SFP+ and ports etc.). Rather, these options are
available in the mask only for ROACH2.

Is 10_Gbe_v2 part of SKA-SA github repository now and is that supposed to
be used instead of ten_Gbe_v2? I have not updated the repository of late
and have been using ten_Gbe_v2 for my ROACH2 design.

Thanks,

Nimish
