Abstract

See full text

Techniques for efficiently performing division and modulo operations in a programmable logic device. In one set of embodiments, the division and modulo operations are synthesized as one or more alternative arithmetic operations, such as multiplication and/or subtraction operations. The alternative arithmetic operations are then implemented using dedicated digital signal processing (DSP) resources, rather than non-dedicated logic resources, resident on a programmable logic device. In one embodiment, the programmable logic device is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and the dedicated DSP resources are pre-fabricated on the FPGA. Embodiments of the present invention may be used in Ethernet-based network devices to support the high-speed packet processing necessary for 100G Ethernet, 32-port (or greater) trunking, 32-port/path (or greater) load balancing (such as 32-path ECMP), and the like.
