Abstract: The design and development of application specific hardware structures has a high degree of complexity. Logic resources are nowadays often not the limit anymore, but the development time. The first part presents a generator which allows defining control and status structures for hardware designs using an abstract high level language. A novel method to inform host systems very efficiently about changes in the register files is presented in the second part. It makes use of a microcode programmable hardware unit. In the third part a fully pipelined address translation mechanism for remote memory access in HPC interconnection networks is presented, which features a new concept to resolve dependency problems. The last part of this thesis addresses the problem of sending TCP messages for a low latency trading application using a hybrid TCP stack implementation that consists of hardware and software components. Furthermore, a simulation environment for the TCP stack is presented.
