Enea Supports Freescale QorIQ Multicore Processors
KISTA, SWEDEN--(Marketwire - April 28, 2010) -
Enea OSE Multicore Edition and Enea Hypervisor join with the QorIQ®
Family
Processors to offer an Optimized Platform for Developers of Next Generation
Network Equipment
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, 28 April, 2010 - Enea today announced Enea OSE Multicore
Edition realtime operating system and Enea Hypervisor support for the
Freescale's QorIQ® family of multicore processors, including the P2020.
and
P4080. Enea OSE Multicore Edition will support both processors, while Enea
Hypervisor is initially targeting the Freescale P2020. Enea software offers
an
optimized, flexible and powerful multicore architecture for developers
using
QorIQ processors to build advanced communications equipment including
routers,
switches, radio network controllers and long term evolution (LTE) radio
access
nodes.
The award-winning Enea OSE Multicore Edition RTOS (www.enea.com/ose)
features an innovative kernel design that blends the
ease of the use of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) with the performance and
scalability of asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP). Enea Hypervisor
(www.enea.com/hypervisor) implements multiple high performance computing
environments on top of multicore processors that benefiting developers of
next
generation network equipment with lower development costs by enabling
hardware
consolidation, increased performance in the system with higher throughput
and
shorter development time.
"One of the strengths of the QorIQ family of multicore processors is the
longstanding enablement support it has received from outstanding partners
such
as Enea," said Raja Tabet, vice president of Software and Systems with
Freescale's Networking and Multimedia Group. "We recognize the significant
contributions that our third-party partners have made to the QorIQ
ecosystem and
applaud Enea's commitment to support the QorIQ multicore processor family
with
an outstanding enablement solution."
In addition to providing a powerful and portable application framework with
maximum scalability for high speed processing applications, OSE Multicore
edition is a fully featured RTOS with advanced software management, POSIX
file
systems and full IP networking support. OSE Multicore Edition features an
additional level of optimization for the Freescale QorIQ DataPath
Acceleration
Architecture (DPAA) through an optional sand boxed "bare-metal" execution
mode
for individual cores, in which Enea enables customers to fully utilize
Freescale's Netcom drivers in a run-to-completion loop for maximum packet
processing performance. OSE Multicore Edition is complemented by Enea
Optima, a
suite of system and application level debug and profiling tools that,
integrated
with Freescale's CodeWarrior® environment, showing the power of the
Eclipse™
tools platform, and providing a single seamless suite of tools for all
phases of
system development, from board bring-up, through application development
and
tuning, to system integration and field debug support.
The Enea Hypervisor is based on the same microkernel technology as Enea OSE
allowing applications written for Enea's flagship RTOS to run at native
processor speeds without compromising any real-time critical properties,
while
taking as guests Linux Operating System and optionally semiconductor
specific
executive environments for bare-metal speed packet processing. This
implementation is ideal for developers who want to take advantage of the
proven
power, speed and reliability of OSE, while also utilizing the vast
ecosystem of
third party software available on Linux.
"Network convergence is causing a rapid raise in IP-based traffic," said
Mathias
Bath, senior vice president of Marketing at Enea. "To meet the market's
performance requirements developers are turning to integrated, high
performance
solutions like the Freescale QorIQ multicore processors and Enea's
extensive
array of multicore platform software and tools."
