Abstract

The GigaNetIC project aims to develop high-speed componentsfor networking applications based on massivelyparallel architectures. A central part of this project is thedesign, evaluation, and realization of a parameterizablenetwork processing unit. In this paper we present a designmethodology for network processors which encompassesthe research areas from the application software down tothe gate level of the chip. Key components of this holisticapproach have been successfully applied to characteristicexamples of architecture refinements.
