— This paper introduces a hardware architecture for high speed network processors, focusing on support for Quality of Service in IPSec-dedicated systems. The effort is aimed at d...
Abstract--Many shared-memory parallel systems use lockbased synchronization mechanisms to provide mutual exclusion or reader-writer access to memory locations. Software locks are i...
Chip-multiprocessors are quickly becoming popular in embedded systems. However, the practical success of CMPs strongly depends on addressing the difficulty of multithreaded appli...
