JumpGen Systems Introduces TILEPro64 Processor AdvancedMC Board

The TPM-100 features the Tilera TILEPro64 processor and expands JumpGen’s PrAMC line

Carlsbad, Calif., May 12, 2009 – JumpGen Systems today announced the TPM-100, an AdvancedMC™ (PrAMC) platform based on the Tilera® TILEPro64™ processor that offers 64 cores of general purpose and signal processing compute coupled with over 20 Gbps of full-duplex I/O. The TPM-100 PrAMC offers new levels of performance enabled by the new TILEPro64 processor design features and the Tilera Multi-Core Development Environment (MDE) version 2.0.

The single-wide TPM-100 is the latest JumpGen PrAMC platform that supports 10 Gbps Ethernet interfaces to address growing market requirements for IP networks. The TPM-100 and T6M-100 AMCs provide equipment manufacturers with options to dramatically reduce time-to-market and fulfill the growing demand for packet processing in converged, content-aware IP networks that process 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.

"The TPM-100 is an excellent implementation of the TILEPro64 processor together with MDE version 2.0; it continues to raise the bar by offering the highest performance and performance-per-watt of any AMC card on the market today. This further establishes the Tile processors leadership in the embedded market," said Omid Tahernia, CEO and President, Tilera Corporation. "JumpGen is a valued embedded board developer and partner."

"We are pleased with the new Tilera MDE version 2.0 features including support for the new JumpGen PrAMC product line. Our customers have reported performance gains based upon the new capabilities included in MDE version 2.0 using the TILE64 processor." said Harry White, JumpGen Systems President and CEO. "The TPM-100 provides even higher performance and lower power options to our customers."

"The TPM-100 processor board from JumpGen Systems is a high performance product expanding the AMC ecosystem and JumpGen’s growing PrAMC product line. The TPM-100 will enable higher performance MicroTCA® and ATCA System options for a wide range of telecom, military/defense, and industrial applications." – Lance A. Leventhal, Technology Editor, ATCA Newsletter.

"JumpGen Systems continues to be 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 is developing new products based on many of the PICMG standards," said Joe Pavlat, President of PICMG, the open standards consortium. Application development on the TPM-100 is supported by the Tilera Multicore Development Environment (MDE) version 2.0. MDE 2.0 includes new features like Zero Overhead Linux (ZOL), which enables dataplane applications to run on Linux while avoiding all of Linux’s overhead; and Bare Metal Environment (BME), which is suitable for RTOS porting and low-level dataplane applications. The MDE also offers an integrated set of tools and libraries that brings simplicity to multicore programming and helps programmers harness the full potential of their processors. It also provides full support for C/C++, standard programming paradigms, and the most advanced multicore debugging and optimization tools.
