Abstract: A virtual machine receives a first set of code. At least a portion of the first set of code is provided to a compiler and is partitioned into a plurality of groupings of code. At least one of the groupings of code is compiled into a plurality of second sets of code. At least two of the second sets of code are provided to differing processor resources. The differing processor resources include a plurality of processing elements embodied on one processor device.

Abstract: Numerous embodiments of a virtual machine for network processors are disclosed.

Abstract: Various embodiment of a technique for pushed-based indexing of web content are described.

Abstract: A Scalable Multimedia Network providing integrated networking of data, voice, video and image services over a variety of access facilities including metallic loops, fiber/coax or digital fiber is disclosed herein. The SMN establishes customer initiated switched virtual circuits for all traffic types and directs them to the appropriate backbone network. The SMN is based on a distributed switching platform that includes a protocol adaptation capability which permits communications between customer premises equipment and potentially incompatible backbone networks or network servers.

Abstract: A Scalable Multimedia Network providing integrated networking of data, voice, video and image services over a variety of access facilities including metallic loops, fiber/coax or digital fiber is disclosed herein. The SMN provides a broadcast switch using a tiered system of buses. Channel units are made to interface to a bus of any tier depending on bandwidth requirements of the particular channel units. The SMN is based on a distributed switching platform that enables carriers to economically provide service to a small number of customers and add capacity incrementally as the customer base increases. The platform has a protocol adaptation capability which permits communications between customer premises equipment and potentially incompatible backbone networks or network servers.
