| Efficient implementation of communication
software is of crucial importance for high-speed networks. One
way to improve the runtime performance of protocol implementation
in the network nodes is the use of parallelism. Formal
description techniques like Estelle improve the specification
process in many respects and allow for semiautomatic code
generation. Therefore, they are now widely accepted. We present a
code generaqtor for Estelle that compiles and automatically
configures protocol software for a multiprocessor. Software
modules are distributed over the available processors and
executed concurrently. We report performance results on a KSR1
with 28 available processors under the OSF/1 operating
system. |
