Network processor FPGA (npFPGA): multi-die FPGA chip for scalable multi-gigabit network processing
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for reducing power consumption of a multi-die device, such as a network processor FPGA (npFPGA). The multi-die device may include hardware resources such as FPGA dies, which may be coupled to NIC dies and/or memory dies. Power consumption of the multi-die device may be reduced by monitoring usage of hardware resources in the multi-die device, identifying hardware resources that are not in use, and gating power to the identified hardware resources. The status of processing elements (PEs) in the multi-die device may be tracked in a PE state table. Based on the PE state table, tasks from a task queue may be assigned to one or more processing elements.
