NVMe Streaming
NVMe Streamer for High-Speed FPGA Data Acquisition & Recording
This Technical Brief is about FPGA high speed data streaming, explaining how to best record data that is received by an FPGA, for example from high-speed data acquisition, and that needs to be stored into an NVMe SSD (Non-Volatile Memory Express Solid-State Drive), after FPGA-based Data-in-Motion processing; or the opposite direction when data streams out of an SSD into an FPGA for Data-in-Motion processing.
Recording with NVMe SSDs
Sustained, High-Speed Data Recording with NVMe SSDs
MLE has been providing NVMe Streamer, an FPGA-based technology which enables users to directly stream onto NVM Express (NVMe) SSDs data to and from Programmable Logic (PL). The objective behind NVMe Streamer was to provide a solution for high speed data recording (and re-play) without any CPUs involved, either because your FPGA does not have an embedded CPU or because you are looking for a solution with deterministically high read/write bandwidth and performance scalability.
