BittWare, the provider of Altera-based FPGA COTS boards, has entered into a Value-Added Reseller (VAR) agreement with
Tamba Networks, a developer of low-latency, high-speed Intellectual Property (IP) cores for networking and financial applications.
The Tamba Networks 1 to 400 Gigabit Universal Ethernet IP Core is a low latency and gate count solution which enables a 10 GigE "FIFO+MAC+PCS" of approximately 25 ns in an Altera Stratix V FPGA. This decreases the round-trip delay wire-to-wire. By narrowing their focus to the ethernet MAC and PCS - designing their own soft PCS core as opposed to the typical solution which uses the hard PCS core - Tamba Networks has optimised the design of both, bringing an extremely efficient solution to market and saving many nanoseconds of latency in the process.
“
Many of our customers are looking for the lowest possible latency,” stated Ron Huizen, Vice President of Systems & Solutions at
BittWare. “
Therefore, we are always seeking out industry-leading technology that can help. Tamba’s MAC+PCS IP cores enable us to provide our customers with unprecedented wire-to-application ethernet latency.”
The Tamba Networks IP cores are available today on all of BittWare’s PCIe-based Altera Stratix V family of boards which include the following:
S5PE-DS Dual Altera Stratix V GX/GS PCIe Board with Quad QSFP+, DDR3, QDRII+, and RLDRAM3
S5PH-Q Altera Stratix V GX/GS Half-Length PCIe Board with Dual QSFP+/SFP+, DDR3, and QDRII+
S5PE-F Altera Stratix V GX/GS PCI Board with VITA 57 FMC Site
S5PE Altera Stratix V GX/GS PCI Board with Dual QSFP+
