This paper presents the proposal and development of a reconfigurable crossbar switch (RCS) architecture for network processors. Its main purpose is to increase the performance, and flexibility for environments with multiprocessors and computer clusters. The results include VHDL simulation of RCS and the use of it in a broadcast function implementation, found in message passing support middleware.
