Programming specialized network processors (NPU) is inherently difficult. Unlike mainstream processors where architectural features such as out-of-order execution and caches hide ...
Since processor performance scalability will now mostly be achieved through thread-level parallelism, there is a strong incentive to parallelize a broad range of applications, inc...
The last years have seen an increasing, albeit restricted simulation of large-scale networks on shared memory parallel platforms. As the complexity of communication protocols and ...
Model Driven Architecture (MDA) is a software development approach that focuses on models. In order to support MDA, a lot of CASE tools have emerged; each of them provides a diffe...
The implementation of embedded networked appliances requires a mix of processor cores and HW accelerators on a single chip. When designing such complex and heterogeneous SoCs, the...
