Abstract
A device for packet processing acceleration includes a CPU, a tightly coupled memory (TCM), a buffer descriptor (BD) prefetch circuit, and a BD write back circuit. The BD prefetch circuit reads reception-end (RX) BDs from an RX BD ring of a memory to write them into an RX ring of the TCM, and reads RX header data from a buffer of the memory to write them into the RX ring. The CPU accesses the RX ring to process the RX BDs and RX header data, and generates transmission-end (TX) BDs and TX header data; afterwards, the CPU writes the TX BDs and TX header data into a TX ring of the TCM. The BD write back circuit reads the TX BDs and TX header data from the TX ring, writes the TX BDs into a TX BD ring of the memory, and writes the TX header data into the buffer.
