Optical technology has become a significant part of communication networks. We propose an Optical Interface Message Processor (OPT'IMP) that exploits high-bandwidth, parallelism, multi-dimensional capability, and high storage density offered by optics. The most time consuming operations such as switching and routing in communication networks are performed in optical domain in the proposed syste...

Several problems in Switching Theory, as Automatic Test Pattern Generation, can be exactly and elegantly investigated by using switching equations. However, no efficient methods have been previously developed to solve this class of equations. In this paper, we present a new and truly efficient tabular method to solve switching equations. The solutions of a given equation are compacted as a tabl...

Value predictor predicting result of instruction before real execution to exceed the data flow limit, redundant operation table removing redundant computation dynamically, and asynchronous bus avoiding clock synchronization problem have been proposed as high performance microprocessor design methods. However, these methods increase area cost and power consumption problems because of the larger ...

This survey paper explains the issues in designing terabit routers and the solutions for them. The discussion includes multi-layer switching, route caching, label switching, and efficient routing table lookups. Router architecture issues including queuing and differentiated service are also discussed. A comparison of features of leading products is included.

A conventional binding method for low power in a high-level synthesis mainly focuses on finding an optimal binding for an assumed input data, and obtains only one binding table. In this paper, we show that a binding method which uses multiple binding tables gets better solution compared with the conventional methods which use a single binding table, and propose a dynamic bus binding scheme for ...

This paper discusses multi-hop routing, all-optical label swapping operation of optical label switching routers that make real-time decisions based on the label and the forwarding table. The switching fabric conducts data regeneration and label rewriting. 2003 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 060.4510 Optical communications, 060.4250 Networks

The earlier the stage where we perform low power design, the higher the dynamic power reduction we achieve. In this paper, we focus on reducing switching activity in high-level synthesis, especially, in the problem of functional module binding, bus binding or register binding. We propose an effective low power bus binding algorithm based on the table decomposition method, to reduce switching ac...
