Abstract

Recent hardware advances are creating multi-core systems with heterogeneous functionality. This paper explores how applications and middleware can utilize systems comprised of processors specialized for communication vs. computational tasks. The C-CORE execution environment enables applications, through middleware and underlying system functionality, to utilize both the computational capabilities of general purpose CPUs and the high performance communication hardware provided by specialized communication processors. Such future heterogeneous multi-core hardware is emulated by attaching a representative network processor - Intel's IXP2400 processor - to a general purpose CPU via a dedicated interconnect. For this platform, C-CORE provides abstractions to represent an application's communication actions, to efficiently couple such actions with application-level computations, and to dynamically create and configure the platform-resident 'chains' of computational and communication actions used by applications. C-CORE's functionality is evaluated with representative, communication-intensive applications. Measurements on our experimental platform establish the performance advantages afforded to applications by C-CORE

C-CORE:在高性能网络服务中使用通信核心

最近的硬件进步正在创建具有异构功能的多核系统。本文探讨了应用程序和中间件如何利用由专门用于通信和计算任务的处理器组成的系统。通过中间件和底层系统功能，C-CORE执行环境使应用程序能够利用通用cpu的计算能力和专用通信处理器提供的高性能通信硬件。这种未来的异构多核硬件是通过将一个代表性的网络处理器——英特尔的IXP2400处理器——通过一个专用的互连连接到一个通用的CPU上来模拟的。对于这个平台，C-CORE提供了抽象来表示应用程序的通信操作，有效地将这些操作与应用程序级计算相结合，并动态地创建和配置应用程序使用的计算和通信操作的平台驻留“链”。C-CORE的功能通过具有代表性的通信密集型应用程序进行评估。在我们的实验平台上的测量证实了C-CORE为应用程序提供的性能优势
