OCTEON™ Multi-Core MIPS64® Processor Family
Product Summary
The Cavium Networks OCTEON family of Multi-Core MIPS64 processors is
the industry’s most scalable, highest-performance, and lowest-power
solution for intelligent networking applications ranging from 100Mbps
to full-duplex 10Gbps. These software-compatible processors, with one
to sixteen cnMIPS cores on a single chip, integrate next-generation
networking I/Os along with the most advanced security, storage, and
application hardware acceleration, offering unprecedented throughput
and programmability for the Layer 2 through Layer 7 processing requirements
of intelligent networks.
Product Description
The OCTEON CN38XX and CN58XX family of Multi-core MIPS64 processors
targets intelligent, multi-gigabit networking, control plane, storage,
and wireless applications in next-generation equipment. The family includes
fifteen software-compatible processors, with four to sixteen cnMIPS64
cores on a single chip that integrate next-generation networking I/Os
along with the most advanced security and application hardware acceleration.
The cnMIPS64 core is the industry’s first implementation of the
MIPS64 release 2 instruction set, developed from the ground up for the
highest networking and services performance with very low power consumption.
Security hardware acceleration in the CN38XX/CN36XX implements the latest
set of algorithms, including AES-GCM and SHA-2 (up to SHA-512) to enable
future-proof designs. The OCTEON processors also integrate essential
and unique hardware acceleration for intelligent networking, including
compression/decompression, TCP, and pattern matching, delivering the
industry’s best performance. Supported by an industry-standard
software toolchain and operating systems, the CN38XX and CN36XX offer
a 3x+ performance, power, and real estate value proposition over alternatives.
