In order to research on energy-efficient and
low-latency network nodes for next-generation
networks, we are setting up a hardware testbed
with FPGA-based Network Interface Accelerator
Cards in the form of Xilinx Alveo FPGA boards.
Previous research in the area of Network Interface
Cards (NICs) at our chair led to HDL Designs of
Packet Processing Pipelines on older generation
FPGAs, which shall serve as basis for further research on Xilinx Alveo FPGA boards.

Therefore, the goal of this work is to port these existing HDL Designs to the new FPGAs. This includes analyzing the existing designs, extracting the required logic and integrating it into the OpenNIC framework. Further, the functionality of the designs has to be verified by testing.

- Experience with Linux, Command Line Tools and Bash scripting
- Programming skills in VHDL/Verilog and C (and Python)
- Experience with FPGA Design and Implementation
