SAN JOSE, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®)
(NASDAQ:IDTI) today announced that Orange Silicon Valley used IDT’s
scalable x86 compute cluster and 20 Gbps RapidIO interconnect switches
and bridges as the processing platform to execute high-performance
analytics on real-world social media traffic during the FIFA World Cup
finals. For its test project, Orange Silicon Valley, a subsidiary of
telecommunications company Orange, developed the platform to test the
viability of real-time analysis of consumer interests and sentiments
during the highly viewed World Cup matches.
The analytics were deployed on IDT’s RapidIO-connected x86 cluster
running on the data center compute and networking (DCCN) motherboards
developed by Prodrive Technologies. IDT's RapidIO
switches offer 20 Gbps of bandwidth per link, 100 ns cut-through
latency, robust fault tolerance and hot-swap support, built-in reliable
transmission, and non-blocking switch performance--all of which are
essential to running mission-critical analytics in a wireless network
with co-located servers.
The project with Orange sought to conduct deep analysis of network
traffic in real time, co-located at the edge of the network at the base
station. To check the viability of the plan, engineers tested their
analytics on ultra-low latency, energy-efficient, computationally dense
systems using real social media traffic.
“Our mandate is to push the limits of existing technology and discover
which potential breakthroughs in network deployment are feasible,” said
Jérome Laudouar, Infrastructure Technologies and Engineering Director,
Orange. “By using IDT’s RapidIO network, we were able to prove the
viability of deploying embedded interconnect technology for massive,
real-time data analysis—not just in wireless-server co-location, but
also in other high-performance computing and data analytics
applications.”
“IDT’s RapidIO interconnected processing cluster proved to be a
compelling solution for Orange Silicon Valley’s ambitious data analysis
project,” said Sean Fan, IDT’s vice president and general manager,
Interface & Connectivity Division. “We will continue to deliver
innovative interconnect technologies to address the growing challenges
of data moving through wires and the air in this era of big data.”
Delivering 300 Gbps of aggregate interconnect bandwidth in each DCCN
board and the ability to cluster up to four Intel® I7
processors, the platform is ideal for achieving low latency coupled with
high compute density and low-power targets of the application. With more
than 50 million switch ports shipped to date, IDT’s RapidIO products are
a proven solution that address the multi-processor, peer-to-peer
processing needs required of high-performance analytics in wireless
networks, supercomputing and data center applications. Energy-efficient
system designs can take advantage of RapidIO's 300 mW per 10 Gbps of
data — the lowest power-to-performance ratio compared to other
interconnects.
In addition, IDT's RapidIO-to-PCIe® bridge provides
connectivity to the PCIe-based network interface controller's
functionality, while consuming only 2 Watts at 20 Gbps. This allows for
high-density solutions within the DCCN platform using x86-based
daughtercards. RapidIO-compliant systems can be scaled up to 64K
processing and endpoint nodes with RapidIO 20 Gbps interconnection
between DCCN motherboards. They can also be aggregated with 10 Gigabit
Ethernet interfacing to many commercially available Ethernet top-of
rack-switches.
IDT will demonstrate these analytics at Booth 464 at the Intel Developer
Forum Sept. 8-11 in San Francisco. For more information about IDT's
