This paper proposed a platform which includes both Network processor and DSP for flexible IED. The Network processor is one of the Intel's IXP4XX Product Line family and the DSP is one of the TI's C6000 family. An embedded Linux is ported in Network processor so that a DSP program can be downloaded to Network processor through ethernet and then downloaded to DSP. Using this method, various algorithms according to IED can be applied to the Network processor board. Maximum ten ADCs can be connected because there is a CPLD between DSP and ADC. That is, the network processor board which can measure maximum 40 channels is implemented. In DSP program, thread and double buffering methods are used not to miss voltage samples. The Network processor board is verified using a method that eight channel voltage signals converted to digital are transmitted to server through both DSP and IXP425.

In this paper, a Learning module for a reconfigurable neural network processor(ERNIE) was proposed for an On-chip learning. The existing reconfigurable neural network processor(ERNIE) has a much better performance than the software program but it doesn't support On-chip learning function. A learning module which is based on Back Propagation algorithm was designed for a help of this weak point. A pipeline structure let the learning module be able to update the weights rapidly and continuously. It was tested with five types of alphabet font to evaluate learning module. It compared with C programed neural network model on PC in calculation speed and correctness of recognition. As a result of this experiment, it can be found that the neural network processor(ERNIE) with learning module decrease the neural network training time efficiently at the same recognition rate compared with software computing based neural network model. This On-chip learning module showed that the reconfigurable neural network processor(ERNIE) could be a evolvable neural network processor which can fine the optimal configuration of network by itself.

This paper proposes a network processor especially optimized for content switching. With 2Gbps port capability, it integrates packet processor cluster, content-based classification engine and traffic manager on a single chip. A switch fabric architecture is also designed for scale-up of the network processor's capability over hundreds gigabit bandwidth. Applied in real network systems, the network processor shows wire-speed network address translator (NAT) and content-based switching performance.

In radar systems, FFT (fast Fourier transform) operation is necessary to obtain the range and velocity of target, and the design of an FFT processor which operates at high speed is required for real-time implementation. The perfect shuffle network is suitable for high-speed FFT processor. In particular, twice perfect shuffle network based on radix-4 is preferred for very high-speed FFT processor. Moreover, radar systems that requires various velocity resolution should support scalable FFT points. In this paper, we propose a 8~1024-point scalable FFT processor based on twice perfect shuffle network algorithm and present hardware design and implementation results. The proposed FFT processor was designed using hardware description language (HDL) and synthesized to gate-level circuits using $0.65{\mu}m$ CMOS process. It is confirmed that the proposed processor includes logic gates of 3,293K.

Recent trend on high speed packet processing for providing multiple internet services is to use network processor instead of being implemented by legacy ASIC or FPGA. Most frequently used network processor interface is the SPI4.2. This paper address the data-rate conversion interface device between SPI4.2 and SPI3/CSIX, implemented using XILINX XC2VP40 FPGA. Furthermore, we address the methodology and necessity of flow control occurred due to the data rate difference between 10Gbps and 3.2 Gbps.

A network is an important portion of communications in these days. Because of many inconveniences of a wired-network, wireless solutions have been studied for many years. One of the results of those efforts is IEEE 802.11, wireless LAN. This paper briefly summarizes wireless LAN and specially focuses on the design of a network processor for the wireless LAN system. The processor has 16-bit instruction set suitably selected for network processing and low-power consumption. It is implemented and verified with a wireless LAN system model. The wireless LAN system is modeled in RTL excluding the RF module. The processor can be used in many wireless systems as a controller and utilized as a test module for the research of low-power schemes.

Recently with the explosive growth of Internet applications, the attacks of hackers on network are increasing rapidly and becoming more seriously. Thus information security is emerging as a critical factor in designing a network system and much attention is paid to Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS), which detects hackers' attacks on network and handles them properly However, the performance of current intrusion detection system cannot catch the increasing rate of the Internet speed because most of the NIDSs are implemented by software. In this paper, we propose a new high performance network intrusion using Network Processor. To achieve fast packet processing and dynamic adaptation of intrusion patterns that are continuously added, a new high performance network intrusion detection system using Intel's network processor, IXP1200, is proposed. Unlike traditional intrusion detection engines, which have been implemented by either software or hardware so far, we design an optimized architecture and algorithms, exploiting the features of network processor. In addition, for more efficient detection engine scheduling, we proposed task allocation methods on multi-processing processors. Through implementation and performance evaluation, we show the proprieties of the proposed approach.

The architecture hiring a unique buffer management method and load distribution strategy among multiple processors is evaluated empirically in depth.
