ENERGY-AWARE COMPILATION FOR NETWORK PROCESSORS: FRAMEWORKS, TECHNIQUES AND TREND

摘要：

To feed the increasing need for higher network processing linerate and easier network application development, compilation for Network Processors (NP) has been a hotspot in research. Bit-stream-oriented programming, multiple processing units and heterogeneous architectures all make the job of an NP compiler complicated. Meanwhile, energy efficiency has also become a heated issue while parallel NP system is becoming more powerful and power-hungry. This paper comprehensively reviews NP compilation techniques and energy-aware optimizations. It focuses on the classification in respect of NP compiler’s parallel packet processing capability, and the energy-aware optimizations in all compilation stages. In the end, it concludes with the predicted research trends in the NP compilation area.
