In recent years, there has been a lot of focus on tools that help the development of FPGA applications. However, unlike the software world, there are not many FPGA tools that help analyze the performance of FPGA applications. Also, as the application platforms scale from one FPGA to many FPGAs, such as the well-known Microsoft Catapult platform, it is no longer feasible to rely on low-level FPGA debugging tools such as the embedded logic analyzers. We present Pharos, a lightweight, generic performance monitor for multi-FPGA systems. Pharos is capable of measuring unidirectional latency between multiple network-connected FPGAs, as well as measuring throughput and tracing events across the datacenter. |
