For any compute-intensive platform, it is highly desirable, indeed necessary, to use an accurate and scalable method for measuring energy-efficiency. FPGA technology is now a disruptive technology within the High Performance Computing market. Intel’s acquisition of FPGA vendor Altera during December 2015 signalled that FPGA technology will play a significant part of the future computing landscape. Today, there is no industry-standard method of measuring the energy-efficiency of the FPGA-based platforms. Each FPGA card provider has their own, proprietary, vendor-specific method. A new, open standard is emerging within the HPC market for traditional x86-based server platforms that has the potential to also be used for FPGAs. This standard is called “RedFish”. Thid report will describe how “RedFish” has been used to measure the energy efficiency of the MICMAC application port to the Opera FPGA/Moonshot system.
