Performance and cost have always been critical metrics for evaluating networking equipment. Multicore silicon offers an opportunity to optimize both. By efficiently distributing networking functions across multiple cores, systems can realize greater throughput, lower CPU utilization, smaller footprint, and lower costs than previous generations. This web seminar led by Wind River's Mark Guinther and Cavium's Steve Klinger, illustrates how to achieve gigabit line speed throughput through the efficient integration of operating systems, network stacks, and multicore silicon.
