IXP Processor Heterogeneous, multi-cores: Intel Xscale? Processor (control) and MicroEngines (data) Memory hierarchy Local memory (LM): distributed on MEs No HW cache Scratch, SRAM, DRAM: shared Long memory latency MicroEngine: Single issue; deferred slots Light-weighted HW multi-threading Event signals to synchronize threads Multiple register banks and constraints as operands in instructions Limited code store Packet Processing Applications Types of apps: IPv4 forwarding, L3-Switch, MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switch), NAT (Network Address Translation), Firewall, QoS (Quality of Service) Characteristics of packet processing apps: Performance metric: throughput (vs. latency) Mostly memory bound Large amount of packets without locality Smaller instruction footprint Execution paths tend to be predictable Anatomy of Shangri-La Baker Language Familiar to embedded systems programmers Syntactically “feels like” C Simplifies the development of packet-processing applications Hides architectural details Single-level of memory Implicit threading model Modular programming – encapsulation Domain-specific Data flow model Actors and interconnects (PPFs and channels) Built-in types, e.g. packet Enables compiler to generate efficient code on target CMP hardware Shangri-la Example Compiler and Optimizations Perform program and data partitioning Cluster multiple fi
