Wind River and Cavium Networks Announce Device Software Optimization for Multi-core MIPS64 Processors

Cavium Networks, Inc. and Wind River, Inc have announced the availability of the Wind River Platform for Network Equipment and Wind River VxWorks 6.1 for Cavium Networks' OCTEON Multi-core MIPS64 based Processor Family. "The OCTEON(TM) Processor family consists of 1 to 16 MIPS64 based cnMIPS(TM) cores providing up to 16GHz of 64-bit compute processing on a single chip. Additionally, OCTEON incorporates the most advanced multi-layer application acceleration for networking control, data and services applications. The OCTEON Processor family integrates up to 8 Gigabit ports, up to dual SPI-4.2, PCI-X, up to 144-bit DDR2 controller, up to dual 18-bit RLDRAM II controllers, on-chip packet processing, QoS, TCP, compression/ decompression, encryption and pattern matching acceleration hardware to deliver a substantial price, performance and power benefit over alternative solutions."
