Abstract :
ATLAS I is a general-purpose, single-chip, gigabit asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch with advanced architectural features. To evaluate the architecture of ATLAS I, we analyzed the design complexity and silicon cost of the chip´s individual functions. Our analysis suggests possible improvements
