CORUNDUM.io is an open-source project hosted at Github for building high-performance FPGA-based Network-Interface Cards (NIC) or in-network compute platforms / SmartNICs. “Our motivation for joining is to build better and more cost-effective SmartNIC solutions by complementing FPGA Full Acceleration using NPAP, the TCP/IP Stack that I started at Fraunhofer HHI, with a performance oriented hardware/software infrastructure”, says Ulrich Langenbach, Director Engineering at Missing Link Electronics. Engineering work plans include enhancing support for Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC and for porting CORUNDUM to some of MLE’s partners’ FPGA boards.
