Application Development Environment Offers Quick Time-to-Profit for
Licensees of Revolutionary MIPS32(R) 34K(TM) and 24KE(TM) Core
Families SAN JOSE, Calif., Embedded Systems Conference, April 4
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MIPS Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:MIPS),
and Green Hills Software, Inc., today announced that Green Hills
Software's comprehensive set of software development tools for
embedded applications supports the latest MIPS(R) processor cores:
the MIPS32(R) 34K(TM) family, a revolutionary multi-threading
solution for embedded applications, and the MIPS32 24KE(TM) family,
which features the highest performance available in a 32-bit
synthesizable core, together with an integrated DSP capability.
Green Hills Software's fully integrated, end-to-end MULTI(R)
Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which is optimized for
the MIPS32 and MIPS64(R) architectures, enables MIPS licensees and
end users of 34K and 24KE core-based systems to rapidly develop,
debug, and optimize code, and significantly reduce development
costs and time-to-market. "MIPS Technologies has done it again with
its new multi-threading and integrated DSP capabilities. Developers
who want to take advantage of these remarkable new cores can
quickly reap the performance, power and cost benefits by using the
best development environment available for MIPS processors," said
Mike Wolf, general manager of advanced products at Green Hills
Software. "Developers who are trying to keep up with the insatiable
demand for higher throughput, lower system cost and lower system
power by integrating new, leading-edge technologies such as
multi-threading, can do so without compromising productivity,
thanks to the MIPS Ecosystem and the support of leading tools
providers such as Green Hills Software," said Jack Browne, vice
president of marketing at MIPS Technologies. "Green Hills' MULTI
IDE offers developers a best-in-class environment for quickly and
easily designing and deploying their MIPS-Based products." In
addition to the 34K and 24KE core families, Green Hills' MULTI IDE
supports the MIPS32 24K(R), 4KE(TM), 4K(R), and 4KS(TM) core
families. It also supports MIPS-Based(TM) processors developed by
MIPS Technologies licensees including AMD, Broadcom, IDT, LSI
Logic, NEC, PMC-Sierra, QuickLogic and Toshiba. Other Green Hills
Software development tools available for MIPS-Based applications
include the INTEGRITY(R) RTOS, a secure, royalty-free real-time
operating system for mission-critical embedded applications, which
currently supports the MIPS32 4K family. Support for the 24K and
24KE families is now underway and is expected to be announced this
summer. About the MIPS32 34K Family The MIPS32 34K core family is a
revolutionary multi-threading solution for high-performance,
cost-sensitive embedded applications. Implementing the MIPS(R) MT
ASE, it processes multiple software threads in parallel, masking
the effect of memory latency to deliver significant gains in system
performance and cost savings, with a very modest increase in die
size. Internal benchmarks indicate that the 34Kc(TM) core running
just two threads achieved a 60-percent speed increase over a
single-threaded processor with only a 14-percent increase in area.
In addition, the 34K core family leverages the high-performance
24KE microarchitecture, which includes the MIPS DSP Application
Specific Extension (ASE) for developers who want the benefits of an
integrated DSP capability. About the MIPS32 24KE Family The MIPS32
24KE core family leverages the high-performance 24K(TM)
microarchitecture and the MIPS DSP ASE to provide a very efficient
DSP capability while significantly reducing overall SoC die area,
cost, and power consumption. The DSP instructions in 24KE cores
improve signal processing performance up to 3x over a range of
embedded applications when compared to RISC implementations without
the DSP ASE. About Green Hills Software Founded in 1982, Green
Hills Software, Inc. is the technology leader in real-time
operating systems (RTOS) and device software optimization (DSO) for
32- and 64-bit embedded systems. Our royalty-free INTEGRITY(R)
RTOS, velOSity(TM) kernel, u-velOSity(TM) microkernel, compilers,
MULTI(R) and AdaMULTI(TM) integrated development environments and
TimeMachine(TM) debugger offer a complete development solution that
addresses both deeply embedded and high-reliability applications.
