International Classification:

H04L012/50

US Classification:

370/474000, 370/386000

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for network connected computing systems that employ functional multi-processing to optimize bandwidth utilization and accelerate system performance. In one embodiment, the network connected computing system may include a switch based computing system. The switch employed in the system may be a switch fabric. The system may further include an asymmetric multi-processor system configured in a staged pipeline manner. The network connected computing system may be utilized in one embodiment as a network endpoint system that provides content delivery.

International Classification:

G06F015/173
G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/225000, 709/231000

Abstract:

A network processing endpoint system for responding to network requests via a network is provided. A network processor is programmed to receive network requests and to provide load balancing of the network requests or workloads. The network processor distributes network requests to a set of processing units, which are programmed to respond to the requests. An interconnection medium, which may be a system bus, a switch fabric, or shared memory, directly connects the network processor to the processing units, such that the paths and latencies of the connections are deterministic. Hardware load balancing of the processing units may also be accomplished through the assignment or re-assignment of the processing units to specific tasks to be performed.

Appl. No.:

09/797412

Inventors:

Brian Bailey - Austin TX, US
Roger Richter - Leander TX, US
Ho Wang - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709/231000, 709/230000

Abstract:

A network endpoint system receives requests delivered in packet format via a network. The system uses a transport accelerator at its front end, which performs all or some of the network protocol processing. The transport accelerator is directly connected to one or more processing units, which respond to the requests. The protocol processing may be partitioned between the transport accelerator and the processing units in a manner that best uses their different processing capabilities.
