Performance study of peer-to-peer video streaming on complex networks

In this paper we study the video streaming bandwidth of peer-to-peer streaming networks where the underlying topology is a complex network. We focus on the maximal streaming rate and how it depends on the type of network. We consider networks such as small world networks, scale free networks, locally connected networks and random networks. The experimental results indicate that a more connected graph does not necessarily imply a higher streaming rate, whereas properties such as the existence of a Hamiltonian path from the source do.

An embedded flexible content-addressable memory core for inclusion in a Field-Programmable Gate Array

This paper describes a novel architecture for a content-addressable memory core which is intended to be included in a Field-Programmable Gate Array or an Embedded Programmable Logic Core. Compared to a standard content-addressable memory, our architecture allows for arbitrary data and tag widths; this flexibility is vital in FPGA applications, since the size of the data and tag fields are not known when the FPGA is manufactured.
