MIPS-Based(TM) Designs on Display in Booth 2210
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
CONFERENCE -- MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MIPS), a leading provider of
industry-standard architectures, processors and analog IP for digital
consumer, home networking, wireless communications and business
applications, will showcase key customer technologies at the Embedded
Systems Conference (ESC) Silicon Valley 2008, April 15 - 17. Cavium
Networks, Microchip Technology, PMC-Sierra and RMI Corporation will display
and demonstrate the latest solutions in home networking, communications,
microcontroller (MCU) applications and the digital home.
Cavium Networks will showcase its OCTEON Multi-core MIPS64(R) processor
family with 1 to 16 MIPS64 cores. Cavium's MIPS(R) processors are used by
multiple Tier-1 networking, wireless and storage vendors, demonstrating
continued adoption of the MIPS architecture in these applications. Cavium's
MIPS processors are supported by over 100 Ecosystem partners offering
ready- to-use hardware in ATCA, appliance and access gateway form-factors
and embedded software operating systems and applications. The OCTEON MIPS
processor family offers leading performance, low-power and advanced
hardware acceleration, and scales from 20Gbps in performance to entry-level
MIPS processors for home and SOHO markets in a fully software compatible
manner.
MCU market leader Microchip Technology will demonstrate its 32-bit
PIC32 MCU family, based on the MIPS32(R) M4K(R) core and featuring MIPS' IP
cores for Full Speed USB 2.0 On-the-Go (OTG) functionality. Microchip will
show several demos, including a PIC32 MCU running at 80 MHz. Attendees can
also check out Microchip's PIC32 Starter Kit, the fastest route to
leveraging 32-bit PIC32 MCUs for increased system memory capacity,
performance and functionality.
Long-time MIPS licensee PMC-Sierra will display a wide range of
solutions, including silicon products with reference boards and software
development kits. In addition, the company will display turnkey network
attached storage (NAS) solutions for small and medium businesses (SMB), and
a digital home gateway enabled by PMC-Sierra's SoC family driven by
multi-threaded MIPS32(R) 34K(R) cores.
RMI Corporation (RMI(R)) will highlight the advantages of its
multi-core, multi-threaded XLR Processor(TM) Family for networked
applications. On display from RMI will be a Continuous Computing FlexPacket
ATCA-PP50 board for XLR-Based(TM) 3G wireless and IP multimedia subsystem
(IMS) applications, featuring dual XLR732 multi-core MIPS processors. RMI's
single and multi-core Thread Processor(TM) solutions provide the ultimate
in performance and power efficiency at every price point.
"Our customers continue to innovate and lead the industry in advanced
SoC designs, from low-power microcontrollers leveraging our analog and
processor IP cores, to the highest performing systems using multi-core and
multi-threaded technologies," said Jack Browne, vice president of
marketing, Processor Business Group, MIPS Technologies. "As the exclusive
supplier of both processor and analog IP for the digital living room,
connected home and beyond, we're focused on teaming with our broad array of
licensees to help build their businesses and provide the best possible
solutions for their next-generation designs."
Attendees can also hear from MIPS Technologies during the ESC
educational conference. Radhika Thekkath, director of business and
strategic planning, will present "Embedded Applications of Multi-threading"
on Friday, April 18th, from 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. in Convention Center
Room B1. Thekkath will also present "Key Ingredients of an Effective Patent
Application," as part of the concurrently held Intellectual Property
Symposium, on Tuesday, April 15th, from 4:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. in the
Sacramento Room, San Jose Fairmont Hotel.
ESC 2008 will be held April 14 - 18 at the McEnery Convention Center in
San Jose, Calif. Exhibit hours are Tuesday, April 15 from 12:00 p.m. - 7:00
p.m.; Wednesday, April 16 from 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.; and Thursday, April
17 from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
