Download tool from here. Unzip, then launch: bin/zeppelin-daemon.sh start

Then, browse to http://localhost:9009/#/

Here is an example Systemd service file:

$ cat /etc/systemd/system/zeppelin.service

Basic Concepts

See: https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2017/01/scala/

• Lazy operation: operations that do not execute until we require results
• Spark Context: holds a context with Spark cluster manager

Timing constraints

Synplify users are recommended to use FDC format constraint files. I have found the TCL View and constraint syntax checker in constraint editor GUI to be helpful.

# clocks
create_clock -name {clk_20} [get_ports {clock}] -period 20
# inputs/output delays
set_input_delay  -clock {c:clk_20} -add_delay [expr {20*0.01}] [all_inputs]
set_output_delay -clock {c:clk_20} -add_delay [expr {20*0.01}] [all_outputs]

Getting Started

Assuming Ubuntu 17.10:

# install packages
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt update
# mysql-server will ask for root password, set it
sudo apt install mysql-server

sudo apt install apache2

A. Caulfield et al., "A Cloud-Scala Acceleration Architecture"

New cloud architecture that uses FPGA to accelerate network plane functions (encryption) and applications (search ranking).

Network flows can be transformed at line rate using FPGAs.

FPGA are placed between NIC and CPU in each node of network. Three scenarios: local compute acceleration (through PCIe), network acceleration, and global application acceleration.

• Download and untar latest version of go at www.golang.org
• Set GOPATH and GOROOT environment variables. GOROOT points to go binary install. GOPATH points to your workspace (e.g. $HOME/go).

Notes from https://github.com/alco/gostart:

• Go is only compatible with code that resides in a workspace.
• Go does not allow you to depend on specific versions of external packages.
• There are no local packages, only fully qualified imports.
• All files in a single directory belong to one package
