JumpGen Systems Introduces First AdvancedMC Board Using the Tilera TILE64 Processor
The T6M-100 offers the highest performance AdvancedMC™ board with 64 general-purpose cores and two 10 Gbps Ethernet interfaces
Carlsbad, Calif., Sept. 2, 2008 – JumpGen Systems today announced the T6M-100, an AdvancedMC (PrAMC) platform based on the Tilera® TILE64™ processor that offers 64 cores of general purpose and signal processing compute coupled with over 20 Gbps of full-duplex I/O. The T6M-100 provides the industry’s highest compute density in the smallest most energy efficient form factor.
The single-wide T6M-100 is one of several JumpGen PrAMC products that support 10 Gbps Ethernet interfaces addressing growing market requirements for IP networks. The T6M-100 enables equipment manufacturers to dramatically reduce their time-to-market and fulfill the growing demand for converged, content-aware IP networks that accommodate data, voice and video. The board’s dual 10Gbps Ethernet interfaces and 64 processor cores make it ideal for hosting high-bandwidth embedded communication applications such as wireless radio network controllers (RNCs), multimedia gateways, media transcoders/transraters, session border controllers, modular servers, firewalls, and deep-packet inspection appliances.
"Using the Tilera TILE64 processor, the T6M-100 offers the highest performance and performance-per-watt of any AMC card on the market today. This further establishes the TILE64 processor’s leadership in the embedded market," said Omid Tahernia, CEO and President, Tilera Corporation. "We are very pleased to work with JumpGen and impressed with their execution on this project. AMC board designs are complex, but JumpGen was able to move from initial design to operating prototypes in less than three months."
"We see a growing need for 10Gbps interfaces supporting secure IP communications and video processing in both wireless and wired networks," said Harry White, JumpGen Systems President and CEO. "Adding to our existing accomplishments, the T6M-100 is the first product to offer 64 general purpose processor cores and multiple XAUI interfaces in the small footprint offered by a single-wide AdvancedMC. The Tilera technology enables us to meet the growing market demand for performance and low power. The T6M-100 is already selling with orders placed by a tier-one Telecom Equipment Manufacturer (TEM)."
"JumpGen Systems is a leader in AdvancedMC product development and is expanding the ecosystem for AMC.0 R2.0 and AMC.2 R1.0 compliant products. We are pleased that JumpGen Systems has joined PICMG® as an Executive Member and is developing new products based on many of the PICMG standards," said Joe Pavlat, President of PICMG, the open standards consortium.
The T6M-100 is supported by the Tilera Multicore Development Environment (MDE), an integrated set of tools and libraries that brings simplicity to multicore programming and helps programmers harness the full potential of their processors. The MDE offers full support for C/C++, standard programming paradigms, and the most advanced multicore debugging and optimization tools.
