Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-00990, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Langlois, Pierre (École Polytechnique de Montréal), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Quebec|Québec, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : The goal of this project is to exploit the algorithms developed by the team in which Prof. Langlois is a member_x000D_
to fit in Kaloom's environment, to assess their adequacy and to develop new versions of these algorithms in_x000D_
order to achieve the performance required by our industrial partner. The focus will be on the specific needs of_x000D_
data centers and the research will revolve around improving the algorithms to better fit those needs. The_x000D_
scientific issues and research problems relate to typical problems in computer architecture and to the specific_x000D_
nature of network traffic processing. One major scientific issue is to support very large routing tables that are_x000D_
larger than integrated circuits can accommodate. The size of those tables prevents using hardware-intensive_x000D_
solutions like TCAMs because the hardware cost would be prohibitive. Also, software-based solutions are_x000D_
much too slow for current interconnects (up to 100 Gb/s per link). Moreover, current state-of-the-art external_x000D_
memories (DRAM and SRAM) are too slow to meet the needs. Thus, new algorithms must be devised to allow_x000D_
most operations to be performed using on-chip data and to resort to external memory only very infrequently., program purpose french : The goal of this project is to exploit the algorithms developed by the team in which Prof. Langlois is a member_x000D_
