SANTA BARBARA, Calif. 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
