Join AMD at OFC 2024 where the company will highlight the innovations that its products and technology partners are driving to increase network performance without compromising on security capabilities.
Building upon last year’s momentum, AMD will showcase several demonstrations of how its technology is helping provide customers with top-tier performance without compromising security, including:
800G Ethernet – The 800G Ethernet Demo using AMD 7nm Versal™ Premium devices is interoperating over fiber optics to an 800G Arista router in the Ethernet Alliance booth running over QSFP-DD800 2xFR4. In addition, an 800G Ethernet Demo is interoperating with an 800G Ethernet Spirent tester over a direct attached cable. The 800G Ethernet IP leverages a hardened 400G PCS and FEC (DCMAC) which enables low power, small area, and fast time to market. The 800G Ethernet IP also connects seamlessly to world-class AMD 112G SerDes. This demonstration can be used as a baseline for multi-port 800G network nodes deployed in core network infrastructures.
DDoS Mitigation in Network Security Using AI Inferencing – The importance of security in transport, core, and access networks is continuously evolving. The programmability of the security solutions can help keep up with the changing requirements. This demonstration implements a lightweight classification-based machine learning inference model on an AMD programmable device. The model is synthesized and implemented on Versal fabric and trained offline using publicly available structured Distributed denial of service (DDoS) data sets. The trained model can help predict the network attacks in lookaside or inline mode of operation at line rates of 100Gbps and beyond.
Security 100G TLS - 100Gbps TLS-1.3 offload for access and xHaul – Along with the MACSec and IPSec, the use of transport layer security is becoming popular with several devices running applications that need to be terminated at edge nodes. The transport layer security implements the TLS/DTLS protocols at the network nodes. This demonstration implements TLS protocol on Versal programmable fabric which also utilizes the high speed crypto (HSC) engine hard block for encryption and decryption of TLS traffic. The solution is fully scalable and programmable for performance throughput and number of sessions supported and capable of adopting any of the evolving security protocols.
“Securing the foundation of digital connectivity is critical in today’s interconnected world while also managing the requirements for ever-growing network capacity,” said Gilles Garcia, senior director, AECG Wired and Wireless Group, AMD. “Port speeds must match the blistering performance of network speeds without compromising on security capabilities. Our commitment to advancing security helps ensure a resilient framework, empowering innovation while keeping the digital ecosystem resilient to threats.”
With AI-intensive workloads driving the need for more compute and higher processing performance, the network system’s bandwidth and data connectivity requirements for next-generation wired infrastructure deployments will continue to accelerate at an exponential pace. With just over two years since the close of the Xilinx acquisition, the combined AMD portfolio has grown significantly with Versal adaptive SoCs, EPYC processors, and more being well positioned at OFC to meet infrastructure port speed demands where performance and security are paramount.
