Welcome to the EJFAT Wiki
(ESnet / JLaB FPGA Accelerated Transport)
System Overview:
EJFAT is a collaboration between Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) and Thomas Jefferson National Laboratory (JLab) for proof of concept engineering to program a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for network data routing of commonly tagged UDP packets from any data source to individual and configurable destination endpoints in an end-point compute work load balanced manner, including some additional tagging for stream reassembly at the endpoint. The primary purpose of this FPGA based acceleration is to load balance work to destination compute farm endpoints with low latency and full line rate bandwidth of 100 Gbs with feedback from the destination compute farm.

Proposed Edge to Core Test Equipment:
- Price Estimate Spreadsheet
- Networking Diagram
- PR408549 : Requisition 1 of 2 :
- Statement of Work for Servers
- 1/13/2022: EJFAT team decided to solicit two bid responses, one with MLX NIC and one without. Response from Procurement is "I can ask for the two separate quotes. If you are going to purchase both option (with & without add-in cards), once I receive the quotes back, you will have submit a new PR to cover the option (without add-in cards)."
- 1/18/2022: Question from KOI Computers: "please clarify what the part number for the NVIDIA Dual Port ConnectX-6". Replied with part # MCX623106AN-CDAT.
- 1/24/2022: Requisition currently open for bid responses from vendors. Due date is 1/25/2022.
- PR408870 PR408938 Requisition 2 of 2: Statement of Work for Switches & Cables
- 1/14/2022: PRs for the switches, transceivers and fiber have been submitted. I added (4) 2km 100G transceivers to support dual 100G connections between the switches. We can always upgrade to 400G in the future, if needed.
