Control/Network Codesign Basics for IP-Based Shared Networks

Distributed Shared Memory on IP Networks

Parallel programming is becoming an increasingly popular method of improving computer performance. Unfortunately, parallelized hardware remains expensive in the form of complicated symmetric multiprocessors and high-end server platforms. To provide a more available platform for parallel execution, we revisit the topic of implementing distributed shared memory on networks of commodity workstatio...

IP Fast Reroute in Networks with Shared Risk Links

IP fast reroute is a mechanism that is used to reroute packets around a failed link as soon as the link fails. Most of the IP fast reroute mechanisms, that have been proposed so far, focus on single or dual link failures but can not handle Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG) failures when several links fail at the same time because of some common underlying component failure. Furthermore, most of cur...

Allowing IP Networks to be Securely Renumbered and Shared

Realistic simulation environments for IP-based networks

During development of new protocols and systems researchers in most cases use simulations for evaluation of their product, especially in the area of communication networks. The quality of the simulation environment, however, significantly influences the quality of a product’s evaluation. Therefore, simulation environments as realistic as possible are necessary in order to get reliable results. ...

Hardware/Software-Codesign by Automatic Embedding of Complex IP Cores

Complex SoC and platform-based designs require integration of configurable IP cores from multiple sources. Even automatic compilation flows from a high-level description to HW/SW systems can benefit from having access to reusable sophisticated hand-optimized IP blocks. This work proposes the Parametric C Interface For IP Cores (PaCIFIC) to allow the automatic embedding of complex IP cores in a ...
