2 Agenda FlexPath Introduction Work Packages (2nd Phase) Multi-Processor Extensions Load Balancing Techniques in FlexPath Dedicated Assignment Packet Spraying FlexPath Implementation / Demonstrator Project Highlights and Outlook FlexPath NP - 2

3 Basic Ideas of FlexPath NP Flexible packet processing paths on-chip Hardware decision on packet path depending on networking application / protocol Per-packet analysis in real-time Run-time reconfigurable rule base Supports varying traffic patterns over time Hardware-offload relieves programmable resources Ingress Hardware Processing Pipeline Egress Hardware Processing Pipeline AutoRoute-Path CPU Path FlexPath NP - 3

4 Work Packages of Second Phase MPSoC Enhancements How to notify Processing Elements (CPU, HW Acc.)? Multi-Processor Interrupt- Controller / Packet Distributor Software / Drivers Load Balancing Techniques How to get the optimal ressource utilization? Evaluation of different balancing concepts Mapping on FlexPath NP FPGA Demonstrator Fully working Network Processor on FPGA Demonstrator Plattform Demonstration tomorrow! FlexPath NP - 4

5 Multi-Processor Extensions Fully Multi-Processor ready Interrupt Controller Based on Xilinx Single Processor IntC Extended by several configuration registers (e.g. to configure queue- CPU assignment) Atomic register read out (instead of read/modify/write-back) Packet Distributor Priority based Supports Dedicated Assignment and Spraying CPU 3 CPU 2 CPU 1 Packet Distributor CPU 0 IDLE BUSY Path Dispatcher FlexPath NP - 5

6 Load Balancing Techniques Load Balancing is actually not a new problem: Cluster load balancing in HPC but also for NPUs So what's in the NP literature? Simple Hashing & Packet Spraying for "aggressive flows" (Dittmann, 2002) Adaptive HRW Hashing (Kencl, 2003) Adaptive Burst Shifting (Shi, 2005) HABS (Kencl/Shi, 2006) All known techniques applied uniformly to all packets homogeneous balancing no QoS consideration Important side effect: Flow reassignments may lead to packet reordering Packet reordering significantly reduces the efficiency of TCP (>90% of all network packets) FlexPath NP - 6

7 Load Balancing - Networking Applications IP Router: 90% of traffic uses TCP 50% of TCP packets are ACKs <10% of packets are DSCP marked Plain routing is "stateless": each packet is independent from other packets QoS behavior (DSCP) preferential treatment hot candidate for AutoRoute Security / Crypto Gateways: Either requires high processing per packet ( N x 1000 instr / pkt), or invocation of dedicated HW accelerators / coprocessors IPSec is a stateful protocol connection parameters (keys, etc.) sequence numbers processing on same instance optimal may require HW/SW partitioning and use of crypto cores IPsec Tunnel VPN GW GW Corporate Corporate NW NW 2 2 Corporate Corporate NW NW 1 1 VPN GW GW Internet Internet FlexPath NP - 7

8 Load Balancing - Stateless Networking Applications no shared connection state is maintained any processor can work on any packet dedicated assignment flow processor may be inefficient "bursty" traffic patterns lead to temporal overloads high balancing overhead needed to compensate overloads packet spraying is a "self-organizing" solution: assignment of packets to a single queue (difference to Dittmann) every idle CPU fetches packets from this queue QoS may be implemented by providing additional "high priority" queues Dittmann (2002): FlexPath (2009): Path Ctrl. Path Disp. Scheduler Packet Reordering Problem addressed in FlexPath by Path Control! FlexPath NP - 8

9 Load Balancing - Stateful Networking Applications Hashing-based assignment of flows to processors well suited for stateful processing without run-time adaptation: problem of biased hash bundle sizes (Dittmann) run-time adaptation (HRW, Kencl) relatively complex to implement HLU: simple, adaptive flow assignment hashing-based, high flow mapping persistence, low implementation complexity ρ=65% ρ=35% ρ=40% ρ=60% ρ=45% ρ=55% CPU1 CPU2 CPU1 CPU2 CPU1 CPU2 Fl. 1 Fl. 2 Fl. 4 Fl. 2 Fl. 4 Fl. 3 Fl. 4 Fl. 3 Fl. 5 Fl. 3 Fl. 5 Fl. 7 Fl. 5 Fl. 7 Fl. 6 Fl. 7 Fl. 6 Fl. 1 Fl. 6 Fl. 1 Fl. 2 FlexPath NP - 9
