NEC ExpEther is a technology that can extend PCI Express beyond the confines of a computer chassis via Ethernet without any modification of existing hardware and software. It leverages 40G technology and uses Ethernet infrastructure to help accelerate real-time Big Data processing. The technology enables you to install large number of GPUs and NVMe SSDs without adding new servers every time so you can scale as you grow your computational or storage needs. The GPU / SSD / FPGA expansion box/chassis can be miles away because it uses ethernet technology and also can be shared by multiple servers which lowers your cost of ownership.

This technology is also extremely suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) where you can have remote sensor data processed in almost real time away from the sensor (example – in a large factory automation environment. With the world’s most advanced GPUs populated, this expansion box is particularly suited for maximum acceleration of highly parallel applications like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Autonomous Machines, Self-Driving Cars,Big Data Analytics, IoT, Smart Cities, Health Care, Oil & Gas Research,Computer Aided Design (CAD), Virtual/Augmented Reality, HPC, Virtualization, Database Processing, and General IT & Cloud Enterprise Applications.

Description

GroundBreaking GPU and PCI-E Expansion Technology

The ExpEther technology enables system expansion by connecting PCI Express devices directly, using an Ethernet infrastructure. As the ExpEther keeps the native PCI Express connectivity, the PCI Express devices can also be operated as a single system, despite being distributed in different locations connected by Ethernet. This process enables standard PCI Express configurations, interruptions, and hot plugging to be remotely performed with an Ethernet LAN, as if they were connected to a virtual single-hop PCI Express switch.

NEC’s ExpEther 40G technology delivers a compelling solution for real-time Big Data processing and other data center workload acceleration. It does so by enabling the connection of GPGPU, NVMe SSD, or FPGA-based accelerators via an Ethernet connection. NEC has closely collaborated with Xilinx, a fellow ExpEther Consortium member, to validate and enable the ExpEther 40G technology as either an IP core or an ExpEther platform leveraging Xilinx UltraScale™ FPGAs. NEC launched the IP core business in January 2016.

ExpEther 40G provides customers with the following advantages:

Since all connections with the computing resources can be dynamically reconfigured, ExpEther40G technology optimizes the utilization rate.
Original software assets can be used without changing the device drivers, even when all resources are connected via Ethernet.
The service platform enables the scalability needed to process Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and big data projects in real time, especially in the area of high-performance servers, which have difficulty in utilizing ExpEther 1G/10G.

Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning Use Cases

Deep Learning systems constantly require more computational power and adding new servers is always not practical. The ExpEther allows you to keep adding supercomputing power over ethernet and helps save time and money in realizing value from ongoing research.
