NAA-Measurement-Carrier-System

This project includes the hardware and software solution of a carrier system for network attached accelerators (NAA). It is intended to be placed in a server rack and replace the common CPU-based carrier systems for hardware accelerators. It was developed as part of a master thesis at the Fraunhofer Institute HHI in the ESG group.

Overview

This project focuses on making the use of NAAs more energy efficient and to measure their application-specific power consumption during operation. For this purpose, a system was designed and realized which consists of several PCBs and the implementation of microcontroller software. The complete project is explained in detail in the written version of the master thesis .

Code

The code section contains all the C code for the microcontroller including third party libraries, the code I wrote is here. The Python code was written to evaluate the measurement system and its deviation. The bash scripts are implemented for a remote access to the system over network.

PCB

Contains the KiCad files for the PCB designs of the carrier module.

Use

This repository is for application purposes and represents my latest work.
