Mobileye(R) Licenses MIPS32(R) 1004K(TM) Coherent Processing System for Advanced Driver Assistance SoCs
May 03 2010 - 7:00AM
MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:MIPS), a leading provider of
industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital
consumer, home networking, wireless, communications and business
applications, announced today that Mobileye, the global pioneer and
leader in vision-based collision prevention systems, licensed its
multi-threaded multiprocessing MIPS32® 1004K™ Coherent Processing
System (CPS). Mobileye will incorporate the 1004K CPS in its next
generation EyeQ™ vision-based SoC for use in driver assistance
systems. Mobileye already uses multi-threaded MIPS32 34K™ cores in
its current generation EyeQ2™ SoC. Development of the third
generation SoC will begin immediately.
According to Ziv Aviram, CEO, Mobileye, "We are having great
success using MIPS in our EyeQ2™ product, which has been adopted by
several top-tier suppliers and car manufacturers. We are
pleased to reaffirm our commitment to MIPS for our next generation
product. The EyeQ3™ will be the ultimate driver assistance system
for a wide range of vertical markets. With MIPS, we get a winning
architecture that provides the reliability, high performance and
flexibility needed for automotive applications. MIPS Technologies'
unparalleled service and support will help us get our next
generation product to market quickly at the lowest possible
cost."
"Multi-threaded 34K cores helped us achieve a 600% performance
gain in the EyeQ2™ over the previous generation, and we are pleased
to target even greater performance in the EyeQ3™, with a
combination of the 1004K CPS and Mobileye's innovative Vector
Microcode Processors (VMP)," said Elchanan Rushinek, vice president
of engineering, Mobileye. "As we did when we selected MIPS cores
for the EyeQ2™, we exhaustively benchmarked the new MIPS cores
against the competition. We need extreme real-time performance, and
we found the 1004K CPS to be a superior solution. With MIPS, our
customers can be assured of responsiveness and reliability to help
reduce accidents and make roads safer."
"MIPS Technologies has a strong presence in the automotive
market, with significant share in mobile infotainment and a growing
presence in the automotive control and advanced driver assistance
systems (ADAS) markets. ADAS systems entail advanced applications
processing, reliability, and real time response for applications
such as collision avoidance and driver safety," said Michael J.
Palma, IDC senior research analyst for consumer semiconductors.
"Leading automotive companies are looking to Mobileye for
technologies that not only have the ability to change lives, but
save them," said Art Swift, vice president of marketing, MIPS
Technologies. "We are pleased to work closely with Mobileye as it
continues to develop advanced driver assistance solutions. The MIPS
architecture is a great fit for automotive safety and infotainment
applications, and we look forward to expanding our presence in
these high-growth sectors of the automotive market."
Mobileye's family of EyeQ™ Vision Processors and its
broad range of algorithms for mono-camera driver assistance systems
target vehicle active safety applications such as lane departure
warning, vehicle detection, pedestrian detection, intelligent
headlight control and traffic sign recognition.
About the MIPS32 1004K CPS
The 1004K Coherent Processing System (CPS) is the industry's
first multi-threaded multiprocessor IP core. Incorporating
multi-threading in each core in a coherent multi-core architecture
enables the 1004K multiprocessor to surpass the performance of
multi-core systems based on single-threaded processor cores.
This performance boost essentially is "free" in both hardware and
software, as the additional hardware threads in the cores are
minimal in size relative to a typical SoC design, and
multi-threading makes use of the same Symmetric Multiprocessing
(SMP) versions of operating systems and software programming models
as coherent multi-core platforms. Leveraging the multi-threading
capability, the 1004K CPS achieves over 2.9 Coremark/MHz per core,
putting it among the highest scores available in the database of
tested cores on the Coremark.org website. Couple this
performance with the small size and low-power implementation, and
the 1004K series provides one of the most performance/power
efficient solutions in the industry.
