Capturing Processor Architectures from Protocol Processing Applications: A Case Study

Seppo Virtanen, Jani Paakkulainen, Tero Nurmi, Capturing Processor Architectures from Protocol Processing Applications: A Case Study. In: C. Wolinski (Ed.), 8th Euromicro Conference on Digital Systems Design (DSD), 243–246, IEEE Computer Society, 2005.

Abstract:

We present a case study in finding optimized processor architectures
for a given protocol processing application. The process involves
application analysis, hardware/software partitioning and
optimization, and evaluation of design quality through simulations,
estimations and synthesis. The case study was targeted at
processing key IPv6 routing functions at 200 MHz using 0.18 um
CMOS technology. A comparison to an implementation on a commercial
processor revealed that the captured architectures provided similar
or better performance. Especially checksum calculation was
determined to be efficient in the captured architectures.
