An innovative resource management scheme for multi-gigabit networking systemsAn innovative resource management scheme for multi-gigabit networking systems Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2015-11-162003enOne of the hardest problems faced by today’s multi processor networking devices is the scheduling of the different hardware and software events so as to process network traffic streams at rates of multiple gigabits per second. In this paper we present a novel scheme for resource management in such Network Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs), that we claim can deal with resource management in a very flexible way, while attacking the sources of performance degradation using sophisticated techniques. The presented architecture supports efficiently both high and low priority requests with a hybrid scheme which is greatly effective, since it has a very high performance to cost ratio, while also being very flexible by supporting different scheduling algorithms, depending on the application needs. Finally, performance results of the hardware implementation of this scheme are demonstrated.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/165-175p6th IEEE International Conference on High Seed Networks and Multimedia Communications Papaefstathiou Ioannis Παπαευσταθιου Ιωαννης Kornaros Georgios Κορναρος Γεωργιος Springer Verlag
