“…Using only one of the two IXP1200s, the platform could perform full-duplex switching of 64-byte IP packets at linespeed, leaving over 100% headroom available for applications. Further description of our project can be found in an earlier paper in this journal [9].…”

We compile Nova, a new language designed for writing network processing applications, using a back end based on integer-linear programming (ILP) for register allocation, optimal bank assignment, and spills. The compiler's optimizer employs CPS as its intermediate representation; some of the invariants that this IR guarantees are essential for the formulation of a practical ILP model.Appel and George used a similar ILP-based technique for the IA32 to decide which variables reside in registers but deferred the actual assignment of colors to a later phase. We demonstrate how to carry over their idea to an architecture with many more banks, register aggregates, variables with multiple simultaneous register assignments, and, very importantly, one where bank- and register-assignment cannot be done in isolation from each other. Our approach performs well in practise---without causing an explosion in size or solve time of the generated integer linear programs.
