In a first aspect, a network processor includes a scheduler in which a scheduling queue is
maintained. A last frame is dispatched from a flow queue maintained in the network …

In a parallel processor system, a plurality of nodes each comprising a processor and a main
storage unit are interconnected through a network, wherein a user process is executed …

A scheduler for a network processor includes a scheduling queue in which weighted fair
queuing is applied to define a sequence in which flows are to be serviced. The scheduling …
