Cavium Networks Extends MIPS(R) Architecture License
October 28 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 long-time MIPS licensee Cavium
Networks has reaffirmed its commitment to the MIPS® architecture by
renewing its license of the high-performance MIPS64® architecture.
"We are pleased to reaffirm our commitment to the ultra-high
performance MIPS64 architecture for future generations of our
groundbreaking OCTEON® products. As Cavium's solutions gain
increasing traction for a wide range of networking and
communications applications, we will continue to leverage the MIPS
architecture, which delivers high performance, energy efficiency
and an unsurpassed ecosystem for networking and communications,"
said Rajiv Khemani, VP and GM, Networking and Communications,
Cavium Networks.
"Cavium Networks takes full advantage of the flexibility
afforded by a MIPS architecture license, developing some of the
industry's highest performance and most advanced multicore
processors for networking, wireless and storage. The efficient and
high-performance MIPS architecture is increasingly the architecture
of choice for these applications, especially as data and video
traffic increases across wired and mobile networks. We look forward
to working closely with Cavium as its MIPS-Based solutions gain
even stronger market traction," said Art Swift, vice president of
marketing and business development, MIPS Technologies.
The MIPS64 architecture provides a high level of performance for
applications including networking and computing. Incorporating
powerful features, standardizing privileged mode instructions,
supporting past ISAs and providing an upgrade path from the MIPS32®
architecture, the MIPS64 architecture provides a solid
high-performance foundation for future MIPS processor-based
development.
Cavium's OCTEON multi-core processor family, based on the MIPS64
architecture, offers a scalable, high-performance, low-power
solution for intelligent networking applications ranging from
100Mbps to 40Gbps. The OCTEON processors have been widely adopted
in mainstream and leading-performance routers, switches, storage
networking equipment, security appliances, data-center equipment,
and a broad range of 3G, WiMAX and LTE infrastructure equipment
including base stations, radio network controllers, aggregation
systems, mobile subscriber gateways and deep packet inspection
(DPI) equipment.
