Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose an application directional dynamic reconfigurable network processor architecture and its optimization method. The proposed network processor consists of input and output processing processors, application specific hardware and dynamic processors, which could detect the processing bottleneck of each packet when it is executed. Dynamic processor enables throughput improvement of a network processor because dynamic processor executes the highest-load processing selectively so that the bottleneck can be removed. In designing network processors as an actual application, we developed a network simulator in order to obtain the most suitable hardware architecture. By using it, we can evaluate the number of dynamic processors which is the most suitable for a target application. In our work, when we set DES as a target application, we could find that the most suitable number of dynamic processors is six. Furthermore, we presented advantage of application directional dynamic reconfigurable network processor, comparing to the existing products.
