The new chips on the block

Article Abstract:

Chip developers are working on designs for high-performance devices needed in the area of networking and communications. Network processors are being developed that can process data packets and send them at wire speed. Only a few years ago, Sonet standard OC-3 transmissions of 155MB/s were typical, but the fastest wire speeds today are 10GB/s (OC-192), and networks are expected to move to 40GB/s (OC-768) in two or three years. Computational power needed depends, in part, on what the processor must do with the data. Researchers at XStream Logic, EZchip Technologies Ltd, and Lexra Inc, are working on devices capable of processing all seven protocol levels at 10GB/s.
