Wind River's MIPS architectures complies
with Carrier Grade Linux 4.0 specs
Wind River has announced that it's Linux 3.0 for MIPS processor
architectures complies with the Carrier Grade Linux (CGL)
4.0 specification from the Linux foundation for telecommunications
and high-end data networking applications.
The CGL 4.0 extends its existing support for PowerPC, x86
architecture-based processors from Freescale and Intel,
and includes MIPS-based multicore processors from Cavium
and RMI.
Wind River says, by registering the Wind River Linux 3.0
distribution as CGL 4.0 compliant for MIPS architectures,
Wind River provides customers carrier-grade functionality
for a comprehensive portfolio of chip architectures. And
also provides a set of pre-configured system profiles for
a variety of vertical markets including aerospace and defense,
industrial, medical and networking.
"Wind River already has demonstrated its strong commitment
to providing embedded Linux on MIPS-based architectures,"
said Art Swift, vice president of marketing, MIPS Technologies.
"Supporting the carrier-grade specification on Wind
River Linux is another important milestone. This opens up
new possibilities for our many customers in the networking
and communications markets to create first-class solutions
for mission-critical workloads, while achieving the ever-increasing
need for high performance."
"As a preferred partner in supporting network transformation
for operators worldwide, developing All-IP based carrier-grade
network elements is essential to achieving five-nines reliability
for mission critical applications," said Bruno Zhang,
director of Central Base Platform, Huawei. "Utilizing
proven and tested software that readily meets carrier-grade
specification as defined by the industry, while being supported
across a broad portfolio of processors, offers network equipment
providers incredible advantages of choice, flexibility,
and efficiency."
"Networking products using the MIPS architecture are
delivering significant packet processing advantages in critical
areas within the network," said YJ Kim, senior director,
Networking and Communications Division, Cavium Networks.
"An extensive set of joint customers utilize Wind River's
software solutions along with our MIPS-based OCTEON multicore
processors with unmatched scalability and performance in
a number of applications. Adding the carrier-grade functionality
for MIPS will help our joint customers develop highly reliable
products contributing to the always-on requirement of today's
network."
"Global telecom equipment providers are rapidly adopting
MIPS-based solutions for high-performance, application-specific
products throughout the network," said Mark Litvack,
director of business development, RMI Corporation. "RMI's
XLR and XLS multi-core and multi-threaded processors have
been integrated into solutions with both VxWorks and Wind
River Linux, and together offer the ultimate in features
and flexibility and provide unsurpassed performance per
unit of power in carrier-grade, enterprise and other products.
The use of RMI's XLR and XLS processors in combination with
Wind River's software, provides a unique solution that exceeds
the demands of next-generation wireless network."
