TACO: Rapid Design Space Exploration for Protocol Processors

Seppo Virtanen, Johan Lilius, Tero Nurmi, Tomi Westerlund, TACO: Rapid Design Space Exploration for Protocol Processors. In: The Ninth IEEE/DATC Electronic Design Processes Workshop Notes, 2002.

Abstract:

To meet the tightening requirements on network hardware, the design
of programmable processors with net\-work-optimized hardware, that
is, network or protocol processors, has recently attracted interest.
In this paper we address the problem of evaluating different architectural
configurations for such processors. The proposed methodology enables
easy and fast experimentation with different protocol processor hardware
architecture configurations to estimate their performance characteristics at
early stages in the design process. We conclude the paper with an
example of designing processors using the methodology.
