White Paper The protocol processor is to handle high-speed data streams, more than 10 Gb/s, in a Network Interface Card (NIC). This paper proposes a dynamic packet buffer management algorithm for a protocol processor in a network terminal. [17 Jul 2008]
UK failing to respect computing heritage
News European IT director at Key Equipment Finance, Nic Evans, said: "Heritage counts for naught in the information economy. Nic Bellenberg, IT director at Hachette Filipacchi UK also questioned the usefulness of exhibiting computers in glass cases. [15 Jul 2008]
A Reconfigurable and Programmable Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Card
White Paper RiceNIC is a reconfigurable and programmable Gigabit Ethernet network interface card (NIC). The NIC is implemented on a commercial FPGA prototyping board that includes two Xilinx FPGAs, a Gigabit Ethernet interface, a PCI interface, and both SRAM... [11 Jul 2008]
Memory and Network Bandwidth Aware Scheduling of Multiprogrammed Workloads on Clusters of SMPs
White Paper However, contention among processors for access to shared resources, as is the main memory bus and the NIC can limit their efficiency significantly. Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMPs), combined with modern interconnection technologies are commonly... [11 Jul 2008]
Analytical Model and Performance Analysis of a Network Interface Card
White Paper This paper study the performance of a NIC called Myrinet developed by Myricom. One of the key concerns for practitioners and academicians is that there are almost no platforms based on analytical models for testing the impact of various... [11 Jul 2008]
Queueing Model for Performance Analysis of a Network Interface Card
White Paper This paper considers a Network Interface Card (NIC) and develops an analytical model to predict its performance. The complexity of the problem is due to the fact that it is a combination of multi-class queueing network with class switching, polling... [11 Jul 2008]
EMP: Zero-Copy OS-Bypass NIC-Driven Gigabit Ethernet Message Passing
White Paper With the advent of programmable NICs, many aspects of protocol processing can be offloaded from user space to the NIC leaving the host processor to dedicate more cycles to the application. This paper proposes Ethernet Message Passing (EMP), a... [10 Jul 2008]
Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Position Paper
White Paper The Network Interface Card (NIC) is a Data Link (Layer 2) mechanism for transporting frames to and from a network node. Most commonly, Fast Ethernet NICs are installed on MetaFrame servers, with the NIC and switch port manually configured to... [10 Jul 2008]
Locating the Bottleneck in Fast Ethernet Based Group Communication Systems
White Paper The paper eliminates several hardware possibilities for the bottleneck, including the memory and pcibus, and then focus on the remaining options, the CPU and Network Interface Card (NIC), for locating the specific problem that causes the bottleneck. [10 Jul 2008]
Towards NIC-Based Intrusion Detection
White Paper This paper presents and evaluates a NIC-based network intrusion detection system. Intrusion detection at the NIC makes the system potentially tamper-proof and is naturally extensible to work in a distributed setting. [09 Jul 2008]
Performance Study of Winsock Direct With 10 Gb Ethernet RDMA-Enabled NIC
White Paper This paper describes a performance study conducted with the new 10 Gb Ethernet iWARP RDMA-enabled adapter from NetEffect, using Microsoft Winsock Direct Server Area Network technology. The paper starts with a brief summary of the Winsock Direct... [08 Jul 2008]
New Technique for Fixing an Ethernet IPv6 Address Using the Fedoracore Operating System
White Paper This paper presents a technique that, independently of rebooting NIC, maintain the IP address fix. During the course to deploy Ipv6, it was found that several critical implementation and operational issues which distract user and possibly prevent... [08 Jul 2008]
Design Alternatives for a High-Performance Self-Securing Ethernet Network Interface
White Paper This paper presents and evaluates a strategy for integrating the Snort network intrusion detection system into a high-performance programmable Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC), considering the impact of several possible hardware and software... [07 Jul 2008]
NIC-Based Intrusion Detection: A Feasibility Study
White Paper This paper presents and evaluates a NIC-based network intrusion detection system. Functions such as signature-based and anomaly-based packet classification are performed on the NIC, which has its own processor and memory. [01 Jul 2008]
Bill Gates' legacy hailed by IT chiefs
News Nic Bellenberg, IT director at publisher Hachette Filipacchi UK, said: "I'm no great fan of Microsoft but there is no doubt that Bill and Microsoft's products have made a huge impact on all our lives. [26 Jun 2008]
