Modern personal computing devices feature multiple cores. This is not only true for desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones, but also for small embedded devices like the Raspberry Pi. In order to ...

Network traffic in both enterprise and carrier networks continues to rise, driving the bandwidth requirements and line rates to 10 Gbps today, and expecting to grow to 40 Gbps and beyond in a few ...

Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is ...

Your architecture is not limited to a single board. For example, many networks use an encryption pool (several encryption processors on one card) to handle the encryption needs of all blades in a ...

GPU-based sorting algorithms have emerged as a crucial area of research due to their ability to harness the immense parallel processing power inherent in modern graphics processing units. By ...

As I've pointed out in earlier columns, network processing is in turmoil as far as defining the most appropriate languages, operating systems, and programming methodologies to use. Beyond these issues ...
