High performance data acquisition communication line
Hadámek, Jakub ; Petyovský, Petr (referee) ; Valach, Soběslav (advisor)
The aim of this thesis is the acquisition of data from the AD converter and it’s transfer via the JESD204B interface to FPGA with the following transformation and transfer to PC through 100G Ethernet or PCI Express interface. The first part of the thesis is focused on the introduction to used technologies and hardware and analysis of the solution of this project. Second part of the thesis describes solution and it’s functionality. I created HDL design which allows to transfer data from AD converter using both of the interfaces mentioned above. I also created software application for OS Linux which allows to receive and store incoming data in PC. In the end, the results of the measurement using the converter board are presented and discussed.

Framework for Hardware Acceleration of 400Gb Networks
Hummel, Václav ; Matoušek, Jiří (referee) ; Kořenek, Jan (advisor)
The NetCOPE framework has proven itself as a viable framework for rapid development of hardware accelerated wire-speed network applications using Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). To meet the current and future requirements of such applications the NetCOPE platform has to catch up with upcoming 400 Gigabit Ethernet. Otherwise, it may become deprecated in following years. Catching up with 400 Gigabit Ethernet brings many challenges bringing necessity of completely different way of thinking. Multiple network packets have to be processed each clock cycle requiring a new concept of processing. Advanced memory management is used to ensure constant memory complexity with respect to the number of DMA channels without any impact on performance. Thanks to that, even more than 256 completely independent DMA channels are feasible with current technology. A lot of effort was made to create the framework as generic as possible allowing deployment of 400 Gigabit Ethernet and beyond. Emphasis is put on communication between the framework and host computer via PCI Express technology. Multiple Ethernet ports are also considered. The proposed system is prepared to be deployed on the family of COMBO cards, used as a reference platform.

System of Internal Buses for Chips with FPGA Technology
Málek, Tomáš ; Kořenek, Jan (referee) ; Martínek, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis deals with design and implementation of interconnection bus system for chips with FPGA technology. The system ensures both communication between internal components on a chip and their communication with other computer elements which are mapped to the host system memory. The buses are high-speed, full duplex and packet-oriented and their architecture is based on tree topology. The data width is configurable, individually for every bus part. Due to this feature, it is possible to build uniform hierarchical system of internal buses with different speed that interconnects differently fast components. Proposed interconnection system was implemented in VHDL language and it is utilized in the Liberouter project which is the part of CESNET research intention Programable Hardware.

PCI Express Bridge
Korček, Pavol ; Kořenek, Jan (referee) ; Martínek, Tomáš (advisor)
The aim of this thesis was to design and implement PCI Express Bridge. The main purpose of this unit is to help application engineers who develop various FPGA based accelerators. The implemented unit transforms complex PCI Express based system bus interface to more common and scalable interface of internal bus for on-chip components interconnection. This allows engineers to focus on the development of their target applications, not on a complicated communication protocol. The unit was implemented in the VHDL language, synthesized for Virtex-5 based FPGAs as well as completely tested on ML555 and COMBOv2 cards. The acquired results show that the component reaches the throughput of 7 Gb/s, which is the theoretical limitation of underlying protocols.

Raster Image Data Transfers in FPGA
Musil, Martin ; Kadlček, Filip (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (advisor)
This work deals with the design and implementation of high-speed communication interfaces into FPGA chip and their utilizing for image transmission and processing. In the implementation part has been created PCI Express endpoint device, which provides data transfers between the FPGA chip and computer RAM memory. As a source of image data for further processing was connected the Unicam M621 camera throught the Ethernet interface to FPGA chip. The project was implemented on the Xilinx SP605 development board. Using both of the the interfaces were demonstrated on the application of edge detection using Sobel operator. The PCI Express endpoint device driver for the Linux operating system and a simple application interface in C language was also created within this project.
