Abstract. The ability to offload functionality to a programmable network interface is appealing, both for increasing message passing performance and for reducing the overhead on t...
This paper examines the effect of compiler optimizations on the energy usage and power consumption of the Intel Pentium 4 processor. We measure the effects of different levels of ...
Currently, there is much debate whether ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) or IP (Internet Protocol) is the better internetworking technology for multiparty multimedia applications....
SARC merges cache controller and network interface functions by relying on a single hardware primitive: each access checks the tag and the state of the addressed line for possible...
high NRE cost. Therefore, general purpose programmable processors using software to perform various functions become more attractive since programmability can simplify system devel...
