DESCRIPTION:The NetFPGA is an open\, multipurpose platform that provides a
  complete development tool chain for researchers and students to implement
  their ideas easily and build prototypes of high-speed\, hardware-accelera
 ted data processing systems. The NetFPGA card includes all of the logic re
 sources\, memory\, and Gigabit Ethernet & SATA interfaces necessary to bui
 ld a complete switch\, router\, and/or network security device.  The NetFP
 GA is a low-cost reconfigurable hardware platform optimized for high-speed
  networking.  Because the entire data path is implemented in hardware\, th
 e system can support back-to-back packets at full Gigabit line rates and h
 as a processing latency measured in only a few clock\ncycles.  \n\nMore in
 formation is about the NetFPGA available on-line as http://netfpga.org/\n\
 n\n== Biography == \n\nJohn W. Lockwood is a Consulting Associate Professo
 r at Stanford University.  He leads the NetFPGA alpha and beta release pro
 grams at Stanford University.    Lockwood's research interests include rec
 onfigurable hardware\, Internet security\, and content processing technolo
 gies. Dr. Lockwood earned his MS\, BS\, and Ph.D degrees from the Departme
 nt of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois.  
 Prior to joining Stanford\, Lockwood was a tenured associate professor in 
 the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Washington Universit
 y in Saint Louis. At Washington University in St. Louis\, Lockwood led the
  Reconfigurable Network Group to develop the Field programmable Port Exten
 der  to enable rapid prototype of extensible network modules in Field Prog
 rammable Gate Array technology.  Additional information about John is avai
 lable on-line as: http://stanford.edu/~jwlockwd/ \n\n\n\n\n
