SESSION 34
  Design Methodologies Meet Network Applications
  Chair: Anand Raghunathan - NEC USA Inc., Princeton, NJ
  Organizers: Anand Raghunathan, Marco Di Natale

  Networking chips represent a challenging class of applications for EDA tools and methodologies. This session contains presentations that showcase novel design methodologies developed to address performance and power issues in network processors and switch fabrics. The first paper presents an advanced memory management methodology for high-performance network processors. The second presentation addresses power analysis of switch fabrics used in network routers, while the final presentation discusses memory optimizations for single chip switch fabrics.
