Microcoding remains popular in application-specific processors such as network processors.

Cisco PXF network processor is internally organized as systolic array.

The IXP1200 is a network processor fabricated by Intel Corporation.

A network processor is an integrated circuit which has a feature set specifically targeted at the networking application domain.

In the generic role as a packet processor, a number of optimised features or functions are typically present in a network processor, these include:

Some of the applications types typically implemented as software running on network processors are:

The interface is used by devices that off-load certain tasks from the network processor.

The first floor housed the network processors, switches, and utilized the first fibre-optic cables available in Canada.

In addition, the neural network processor is expected to be more resilient than its conventional microprocessor counterparts, Intel's designers said.

A typical application of SPI-4.2 is to connect a framer device to a network processor.
