Research on the Embedded Heterogeneous Multi-core Design Method for 100GbE Network Processor
Zeng Xiangyun, Lianfeng Zhao, Dong Bian · Procedia Engineering · 2012
We proposed a design method of heterogeneous multi-core processor on chip. In our design flow, we structured a computing model mapped onto the processor's micro architecture, and structured a work-load model mapped onto the system architecture. The design method of heterogeneous multi-core processor means that the core types, core numbers, and core interconnections varied along with the various applications. In other words, the multi-core architecture is application-specific. At last, a design of an embedded heterogeneous multi-core 100GbE network processor is used as an application example.
