The applicability of integrated layer processing

The Applicability of Integrated

| In this paper we review previous work on the applicability and performance of Integrated Layer Processing (ILP). ILP has been shown to clearly improve performance when integrating simple functions, but the situation has been less clear for more complex functions and complete systems. We discuss complications when applying ILP to protocol stacks, the requirements of ILP on the communication su...

Integrated Layer Processing of Complex Presentation

Application Level Framing (ALF) and Integrated Layer Processing (ILP) have been proposed as strategies for solving the end system bottleneck problem for modern, distributed applications. Distributed multimedia applications that employ software intensive coding and compression techniques appear to be likely performance beneeciaries of an ALF/ILP implementation approach. However, there is a widel...

Enhancing Integrated Layer Processing using Common

A performance model for integrated layer processing

Integrated Layer Processing is an implementation technique for data manipulation functions in communication protocols. The purpose of this technique is to increase communication performance. It reduces the number of memory accesses and thus relieves the memory bandwidth bottleneck. Integrated Layer Processing can however, in some situations, substantially increase the number of memory accesses,...

Automated code generation for integrated layer processing

ALF (application level framing) and ILP (integrated layer processing) are protocol design and implementation concepts applied in high-performance communication architectures, e.g. to support multimedia applications. Writing ILP code is rather complex and, therefore, ILP code generation tools can reduce the time to develop efficient ILP protocol code significantly. This paper presents a tool, wh...
