چکیده
Modern parallel and distributed applications have a wide range of communication characteristics and performance requirements. This paper presents the Programmable Routing Controller (PRC), a custom ASIC that supports exible network policies to accommodate diverse application requirements. By dedicating a small programmable processor to each incoming link, the PRC can implement wormhole, virtual cut-through, and packet switching, as well as hybrid schemes, under a variety of unicast and multicast routing algorithms. The PRC can support several applications or traac types simultaneously by implementing multiple routing-switching microcode routines.

متن کاملA New Reliable Controller Placement Model for Software-Defined WANs
Software-Defined Network (SDNs) is a decoupled architecture that enables administrators to build a customizable and manageable network. Although the decoupled control plane provides flexible management and facilitates the task of operating the network, it is the vulnerable point of failure in SDN. To achieve a reliable control plane, multiple controller are often needed so that each switch must...
متن کاملQFT Control of a Two-Link Rigid-Flexible Manipulator
This paper evaluates a new and simple controller design method based on QFT (quantitative feedback theory) for a two-link manipulator whose first link is rigid and the second is flexible. A piezoelectric patch is attached to the surface of the flexible link for vibration suppression of it. This system is modeled as a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control systems whose inputs are two...
