A Paradigm for Processing Network Protocols in Parallelby Ralph Duncan, Peder Jungck and Kenneth Ross
Abstract
Network packet processing applications increasingly execute at speeds of 1-40 gigabits per second, often running on multi-core chips that contain multithreaded network processing units (NPUs) and a general-purpose processor core. Such applications are typically programmed in a language that exposes NPU specifics needed to optimize low-level thread control and resources. This facilitates optimization at the cost of increased software complexity and reduced portability. In contrast, our approach provides portability by ...
