A low-power network search engine based on statistical partitioning

Network search engines based on Ternary CAMs are widely used in routers. However, due to parallel search nature of TCAMs power consumption becomes a critical issue. In this work we propose an architecture that partitions the lookup table into multiple TCAM chips based on individual TCAM cell status and achieves lower power figures

Statistically partitioned, low power TCAM

Network search engines based on Ternary CAMs are widely used in routers. However, due to parallel search nature of TCAMs power consumption becomes a critical issue. In this work we propose an architecture that partitions the lookup table into multiple TCAM portions based on individual TCAM cell status and achieves up to 30% power reduction. ©2004 IEEE

Collecting Service-Based Maintainability Metrics from RESTful API Descriptions: Static Analysis and Threshold Derivation

While many maintainability metrics have been explicitly designed for service-based systems, tool-supported approaches to automatically collect these metrics are lacking. Especially in the context of microservices, decentralization and technological heterogeneity may pose challenges for static analysis. We therefore propose the modular and extensible RAMA approach (RESTful API Metric Analyzer) to calculate such metrics from machine-readable interface descriptions of RESTful services. We also provide prototypical tool support, the RAMA CLI, which currently parses the formats OpenAPI, RAML, and WADL and calculates 10 structural service-based metrics proposed in scientific literature. To make RAMA measurement results more actionable, we additionally designed a repeatable benchmark for quartile-based threshold ranges (green, yellow, orange, red). In an exemplary run, we derived thresholds for all RAMA CLI metrics from the interface descriptions of 1,737 publicly available RESTful APIs. Researchers and practitioners can use RAMA to evaluate the maintainability of RESTful services or to support the empirical evaluation of new service interface metrics.Comment: Accepted at CSE/QUDOS workshop (collocated with ECSA 2020

Design and evaluation of a source routed ad hoc network

Effects of network parameters on the performance of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have been widely investigated. However, there are certain issues related to the hardware implementation and internal parameters of the nodes present in the network that effect performance dramatically. In this work a source routed wireless network is implemented in VHDL. Basic modules in the design are mobile ad hoc nodes and a switch that emulates the wireless channel and controls the connectivity between nodes. By varying hardware parameters of the nodes under different network conditions performance of the overall system is measured and simulation results are presented. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003
