Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
Technological advancements have transformed the way people interact with the world. The Internet now forms a critical infrastructure that links different aspects of our life like personal communication, business transactions, social networking, and advertising. In order to cater to this ever increasing communication overhead there has been a fundamental shift in the network infrastructure. Modern network routers often employ software programmable network processors instead of ASIC-based technology for higher throughput performance and adaptability to changing resource requirements. This programmability makes networking infrastructure vulnerable to new class of network attacks by compromising the software on network processors. This issue has resulted …

Many hard drives manufactured today use the Serial ATA (SATA) protocol to communicate with the host machine, typically a PC. SATA is a much faster and much more robust protocol than its predecessor, ATA (also referred to as Parallel ATA or IDE). Many hardware designs, including those using Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), have a need for a long-term storage solution, and a hard drive would be ideal. One such design is the high-speed Data Acquisition System (DAS) created for the NASA Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission. This system utilizes a Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA. Although the DAS includes a SATA …
