Abstract

This chapter presents DynaCORE, a dynamically reconfigurable coprocessor architecture for network processors. The architecture takes over computationally intensive tasks from network processors and provides dynamically exchangeable hardware assists for complex payload processing. According to the actual traffic profile, DynaCORE autonomously determines an optimal set of hardware assists. The hardware assists reside in a grid of exchangeable tiles which are connected by a runtime adaptable network-on-chip. System simulation, hardware architecture as well as reconfiguration management strategies are presented within this chapter.
