PowerNP Network Processor: Hardware, Software And Applications

Deep packet processing is migrating to the edges of service provider networks to simplify and speed up core functions. On the other hand, the cores of such networks are migrating to the switching of high-speed traffic aggregates. As a result, more services will have to be performed at the edges, on behalf of both the core and the end users. Associated network equipment will therefore require hi...

Integrated Model for Software Usability

In recent years, the usability of software systems has been recognized as an important quality factor. Many definitions and models of usability have been given so far but they are brief and informal. Most of these models also fail to cover all of the aspects of usability and are not well integrated. This paper proposes an integrated model that describes the concept of software usability and exp...

Processor Modeling for Hardware Software Codesign

In hardware software codesign paradigm often a performance estimation of the system is needed for hardware software partitioning. The tremendous growth of application specific embedded systems necessitate high level system design tools for rapid prototyping. This work involves design of a language Sim-nML which will be the base for a high level system design environment. The language is simple,...

Hardware Versus Software: A Usability Comparison of Software-Based Encryption with Seagate Secure Hardware-Based Encryption

A Hardware-Software Integrated Solution for Improved Single-Instruction Multi-Thread Processor Efficiency

This thesis proposes using an integrated hardware-software solution for improving Single-Instruction Multiple-Thread branching efficiency. Unlike current SIMT hardware branching architectures, this hardware-software solution allows programmers the ability to fine tune branching behavior for their application or allow the compiler to implement a generic software solution. To support a wide range...
