Packet forwarding (i.e., routing lookups) Packet classification (i.e., firewall filtering) Data storage, searching and indexing (i.e., data centers) Oricane improves the efficiency of decision processes in software This is how it works…

ENERGY = PROCESSOR × MEMORY

Traditional software technology Optimizing MEMORY MEMORY cost is reduced PROCESSOR cost blows up Optimizing PROCESSING PROCESSOR cost is reduced MEMORY cost blows up HIGH POWER CONSUMPTION

Oricane’s green software technology Optimizing MEMORY and PROCESSOR MEMORY cost is reduced PROCESSOR cost is reduced LOW POWER CONSUMPTION

How to reduce power Optimize and mold all decision processes Schedule to create idle intervals Shut down the processor during idle intervals Power consumption Decision processes

Internet Storage Case Study: Data Centers How to unleash the full potential of virtualization

BioCAM™ Software based extended ternary content addressable memory featuring low deterministic memory usage with high deterministic lookup speed independent of the number of cells. Mobile phones Routing and firewalling 99% energy savings for IPv6 packet forwarding 75% energy savings for IPv6 packet classification Packet classification and packet forwarding 2.4 kB memory (IPv4) Packet classification (firewall filtering) for mobile phones 6.4 kB memory (IPv6)
