Multicore continues its fast-growing momentum for a myriad of applications. The telecommunications / data communications market has been one of the multicore market’s early adopters. Rightly so, because multicore brings a powerful solution to fulfill the demanding performance required of Next Generation Networks while providing a high level of integration and controlled power consumption.
As a consequence to these demanding performance requirements, developing efficient packet processing software for multicore processors is a key challenge for the industry.
This forum aims to provide you with the latest information and resources about embedded networking software specifically for multicore. The end goal is to help you understand how to faster and more easily benefit from multicore technology.
While the forum may not answer every possible question about software for multicore (such as massive parallel computing or tools to make a database application multicore-aware) it will cover a myriad of information and resources specific to packet processing within multicore architectures.
For example, if you would like to know how to develop multi Gbps IP forwarding, IPsec, etc., packet processing, and other such design elements to break networking performance bottlenecks for your existing application, you’ve knocked on the right door. We’ll tackle that and more, such as how to efficiently share cores between the networking layer and the application to reduce your equipment costs, all with the end goal of empowering you with information and resources to simplify your design process.
