Green Hills Software Delivers Complete Product
Suite for Cavium Networks’ OCTEON™ Multi-core MIPS64 Processor
Family
Enables Rapid Product Deployment for Network Equipment Providers
Using OCTEON Processors
SANTA BARBARA , CA —July 26, 2007—Green Hills Software,
Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization (DSO) and real-time
operating systems (RTOS), today announced that the Green Hills product
suite supports Cavium Networks’ (NASDAQ:CAVM) OCTEON™ Multi-core
MIPS64® processor family. This support includes the MULTI integrated
development environment, TimeMachine tool
suite, Green Hills compilers,
DoubleCheck static analysis tools, µ-velOSity royalty-free
real-time operating system and Green Hills
Probe which are now available for the OCTEON family of multi-core
MIPS64 processors. The Green Hills products enable network equipment
providers to reduce their cost of software development and significantly
shorten the time-to-market for their networking, security, control plane,
wireless, storage and broadband gateway applications, based on the market
leading OCTEON processors.
“Green Hills Software is a welcome addition to the Cavium Networks
ecosystem,” said Rajiv Khemani, vice president of marketing and
sales at Cavium Networks. “Their software solutions for multicore
processor development are being used by our common customers in the wireless
infrastructure market. This portfolio of tools and operating systems
optimized for the OCTEON processors allows rapid deployment of leading
performance networking products,” he said.
Green Hills’ products for the OCTEON processor family come from
25 years of experience providing development tools and RTOSes that make
it easy for software developers to utilize the silicon’s optimizations,
while reducing their time-to-market and improving the quality and security
of code running in the end product.
This portfolio includes:
- MULTI integrated development environment – the industry’s
leading integrated development environment for multi-core development
and debugging with many standard features for finding software bugs
early in the development process
- TimeMachine tool suite – the revolutionary back-in-time tool
suite that gives embedded software developers unprecedented visibility
to see and fix software flaws
- DoubleCheck static analysis tool – seamlessly integrated with
MULTI to allow easy, rapid analysis of your code, finding bugs before
they have a chance to infest your target
- Green Hills C/C++compilers for the OCTEON MIPS64™ core – numerous
optimizations designed to exploit the core’s characteristics
to generate the fastest and smallest code in the industry
- µ-velOSity real-time operating
system – providing industry-leading performance, minimal memory
(less than 1.6 KB) and power-saving footprint for resource-constrained
and cost-sensitive devices
- Green Hills Probe – providing reliable and efficient multi-core
debugging using the OCTEON EJTAG port
“We are seeing the rapid adoption of multi-core, multifunction
microprocessors in next-generation wired and wireless infrastructure
equipment,” commented Dan O’Dowd, founder and chief executive
officer of Green Hills Software. “Cavium Networks’ OCTEON
product family is leading the way by capturing a significant number of
future designs and deployments by a wide variety of OEM networking and
storage equipment providers. Now, with the Green Hills solution available,
these OEM’s can realize their performance goals while delivering
on their time-to-market targets,” he said.
