Abstract
A compute engine's central processing unit is coupled to a coprocessor that includes application engines. The central processing unit initializes the coprocessor to perform an application, and the coprocessor initializes an application engine to perform the application. The application engine responds by carrying out the application. In performing some applications, the application engine accesses cache memory—obtaining a physical memory address that corresponds to a virtual address and providing the physical address to the cache memory. In some instances, the coprocessor employs multiple application engines to carry out an application. In one implementation, the application engines facilitate different network services, including but not limited to: 1) virtual private networking; 2) secure sockets layer processing; 3) web caching; 4) hypertext mark-up language compression; 5) virus checking; 6) firewall support; and 7) web switching.
