Kit aids network
search engine deployment
IDT has added two new components to its IXP design accelerator kit (DAK), a development board and a dual-port system-level architecture model (SLAM) for the Intel development environment
The development board seamlessly connects to the Intel IXDP2400 advanced development platform, improving system performance and accelerating application software development/debug, allowing full speed 200MHz hardware execution. Designers also have access to a complete software library that includes the initialisation, management and searching (IMS) code, diagnostic code and dataplane macros as well as application code complementing the development solution.

The new IDT development board features the IDT 75K62134 network search engine, the industry's first 256Kx36 NSE with an integrated industry-standard Network Processor Forum (NPF) look-aside interface (LA-1), which can operate at up to 250MHz, delivering the industry's highest performance.
This new IDT device enables a seamless connection to the network processor unit (NPU), allowing significant conservation of board space and enabling designers to begin development without costly or performance-limiting FPGA or ASIC glue logic.
The IDT 75K62134 accelerates packet processing in products such as core, edge, metro and access routers and allows wire-speed implementation of access control lists, longest prefix match and quality of service.
IDT has also developed a new software-based dual-port 512Kx36 SLAM that supports the Intel IXP2400, Intel IXP2800 and Intel IXP2850 network processors in the Intel Internet Exchange Architecture Software Development Kit 3.0 Microengine Development Environment.
The new cycle-accurate SLAM is bundled with the IDT simulation software solution that includes BusTracker and PowerTracker, unique system analysis tools that help evaluate bus efficiency and power consumption, respectively.
