Description
Summary: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.
