MIPS Technologies' Multi-Threaded Processor Powers New C2-270(TM) Collision Prevention System From Mobileye
November 08 2010 - 8:00AM
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 its multi-threaded MIPS32® 34K®
core is powering the revolutionary new Mobileye C2-270™ collision
prevention system. The C2-270 was introduced separately by
Mobileye, the global pioneer and leader in vision-based collision
prevention systems. The off-the-shelf C2-270 product, featuring
Mobileye's MIPS-Based™ EyeQ2® vision chip, can increase pedestrian,
road and vehicle safety by alerting drivers in the critical seconds
before a collision occurs.
"We are committed to MIPS processors for the current and next
generation of our EyeQ™ SoC. MIPS' multi-threaded 34K cores helped
us achieve a 6x performance increase in the EyeQ2 vision chip over
the prior generation. Now drivers across the world can benefit from
our EyeQ2 technology through the C2-270, which provides an
unprecedented alert capability to help keep drivers safe. The wide
variety of algorithms and functionality in the C2-270, including
its unique pedestrian collision warning capability, require extreme
real-time performance that could only be provided by the MIPS-Based
EyeQ2," said Isaac Litman, CEO of Mobileye Products.
"With its unique and innovative technology, Mobileye is making
the world a safer place, and we are excited to be a part of that,"
said Art Swift, vice president of marketing and business
development, MIPS Technologies. "The high performance, low power,
flexibility and reliability inherent in the MIPS® architecture make
it an ideal choice for automotive safety and infotainment
applications. The multi-threading capability in our processors such
as the 34K core offers an additional performance boost and cost
savings."
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. For more information about

About MIPS32 34K Cores
The 34K core family is the first implementation of the MIPS®
Multi-threading (MT) Application Specific Extension (ASE) in a
licensable IP core, designed to exploit multi-threading in embedded
applications. Processing multiple software threads in parallel, 34K
cores mask the effect of memory latency to deliver instant 20-40%
gains in system performance and cost savings, with a very modest
increase in die size. The 34K core family also meets the real-time
requirements of embedded applications by giving users the ability
to allocate dedicated processing bandwidth to real-time tasks.
