Cambridge will be giving a one-hour tutorial on the NetFPGA (<a href="http://netfpga.org/">http://netfpga.org/</a>) platform on Wednesday April 10. If you are interested in meeting with the speaker, follow up with me at <a href="mailto:jrex@cs.princeton.edu">jrex@cs.princeton.edu</a>.

The NetFPGA is the de-facto experimental platform for line-rate implementations of network research and it continues with a new generation platform capable of 4x10Gbps.</div><div><br></div><div>The target audience is not restricted to hardware researchers: the NetFPGA provides the ideal platform for research across a wide range of networking topics from architecture to algorithms and from energy-efficient design to routing and forwarding. The most prominent NetFPGA success is OpenFlow, which in turn has reignited the Software Defined Networking movement. NetFPGA enabled OpenFlow by providing a widely available open-source development platform capable of line-rate and was, until its commercial uptake, the reference platform for OpenFlow. NetFPGA enables high-impact network research.</div><div><br></div><div>This seminar will combine presentation and demonstration; no knowledge of hardware programming languages (eg Verilog/VHDL) is required.</div><div><br></div><div>A NetFPGA 10G card will be awarded as a door-prize amongst the seminar attendees.</div></div></body></html>
