This project focuses on creating a programmable router processor designed to efficiently execute a variety of network algorithms with the goal to make it a feasible alternative to custom ASICs. To achieve the high throughput required by core routers, the research will focus on (1) fast data plane algorithms, (2) support for co-exploration of algorithms and architecture design, and (3) creating low power routers that do not sacrifice worst case throughput. The project will spur the development of more revolutionary approaches to high speed network processors, allowing programmable processors to penetrate the core router market. This in turn can help reduce the cost of building and maintaining routers. The results will also help reduce the power costs to run these high speed network routers. In terms of academic impact, this research will bring collaboration between two hitherto separate academic communities (computer architecture and networking) to spark new ideas from thisinterdisciplinary interaction.

该项目致力于创建可编程路由器处理器，旨在高效地执行各种网络算法，使其成为定制ASIC的可行替代方案。为了实现核心路由器所需的高吞吐量，研究将集中在(1)快速数据平面算法，(2)支持算法和体系结构设计的共同探索，以及(3)创造不牺牲最坏情况吞吐量的低功耗路由器。该项目将刺激开发更具革命性的高速网络处理器方法，使可编程处理器能够渗透到核心路由器市场。这反过来又有助于降低构建和维护路由器的成本。这一结果还将有助于降低运行这些高速网络路由器的电力成本。在学术影响方面，这项研究将带来两个迄今独立的学术社区(计算机体系结构和网络)之间的合作，从这种跨学科互动中激发新的想法。
