Abstract :
The IBM Power Edge of Network processor combines the attributes of a general-purpose processing subsystem with function accelerators and networking interfaces to create a system on a chip that´s targeted for applications at the edge of network. This article discusses in detail the processing, accelerator, and network interface subsystems and explores applications well suited to the PowerEN processor.
