CPU

这张图涵盖了 ASR9000 全系列板卡的架构以及使用的芯片，其中最右边一列为 CPU 的类型；可以看到最初一代和二代板卡使用的都是 PowerPC 的处理器， PowerPC 采用的都是 32 位的指令集，这也是为什么这两代板卡没法跑在最新的 64 位 XR 系统上的原因。最新的三代采用的都是 Intel 的处理器，使用以下命令我们可以查看板卡处理器（CPU）的类型:

0/0/CPU0 使用的是四核 E500 型号的 CPU， 0/6/CPU0 采用的是 8 核英特尔 686。

NPU and Fabric
#

图示最左侧是 NPU ASIC （network process unit），我们所说的 cef 表象之类的是存储在这类芯片的 on-chip TCAM 上。

型号分别为 Trident/Typhon/tomahawk/lightspeed/Lightspeed+, 最新一代已经达到 7NM 的工艺。这款芯片也是 CISCO 自研的。

前三代中间有个回形针一样的为 FIA （fabric interface asic）用来连接右侧的 Switch Fabric ASIC，转发芯片。

最新的两代中虽然没有 FIA 芯片，但你可以理解位在 NP 上内置类似的功能，下面两张图显示的是前三代和最新两代 FIA 芯片的位置。

最右侧的织装物为 Switch Fabric，在 ASR9K 的 LC 中我们也叫它 XBAR，或者 crossbar, 它与 Fabric 矩阵卡上使用的转发芯片是一样的。

如何去确认 NPU 的型号:
#

Trident/Typhon/tomahawk
#

prm_server_ty 进程,“ty”代表 typhon 板卡

prm_server_to 进程，“to”代表 tomahawk 板卡

进一步判断，需要查看下面的进程"npu_server_lsp" lightspeed+ 会有 npu_server_lsp 这个进程. lightspeed 则没这个进程。
