Atomic Rules Ships Arkville 23.11, the Trusted and Performant Solution for FPGA PCIe DMA
Atomic Rules LLC, a supplier of enterprise-grade FPGA IP cores and solutions, shipped Arkville® 23.11, the 25th production release of the trusted and performant FPGA DMA engine. With improved support for PCIe Gen5x16, Arkville 23.11 provides market-leading, high-throughput 60 G Byte/second (480 Gbps), low-latency DMA in each direction between host memory and FPGA fabric logic, offloading CPU core usage and eliminating memory copies.
High Throughput, Low Latency, No Hassle
With Arkville, a multi-queue DMA conduit is provided that seamlessly transports data between FPGA logic and host memory. Software engineers see industry-standard APIs for producing and consuming data in zero-copy user space buffers. Hardware engineers see industry-standard RTL interfaces which produce and consume data. Arkville 23.11 ships with three RTL variants: FX0, FX1, and FX2 providing 32, 64, and 128 Byte wide AXI streaming datapaths at 500 MHz in each direction.

Choose your Host API
Arkville supports data movement for a wide variety of applications. For packet-based applications, Arkville supports DPDK, with a poll mode driver open-sourced and downloadable directly from dpdk.org. For bulk data, such as digital IF between FPGA and the host user-space memory, packet sizes up to 32KB are supported. For use with 5G O-RAN offload, Arkville has a DPDK Baseband Device BBDEV PMD available.
