  • Abstract
    The aim of this paper is to present a simple, lightweight, multi-threaded network processor core implemented in a FPGA circuit 1. The authors prove that it is possible to design a processor core with hardware switched threads in a FPGA integrated circuit efficiently. The details of the processor core´s architecture are described. The compilation results prove, that the proposed core is able to run at a frequency of 180 MHz in a high-end FPGA device.
