CARLSBAD, CA, Sep 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
JumpGen Systems today announced the T6M-100, an AdvancedMC (PrAMC)
platform based on the Tilera(R) TILE64(TM) 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 10 Gbps 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 10 Gbps 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(R) 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.

The TILE64 processor
The TILE64 processor is ideally suited for high performance embedded
system markets. In the networking and telecommunications areas, the TILE64
processor is designed into switches and security appliances to provide
unmatched performance of up to 10 Gbps of L4-L7 services. In the digital
video and multimedia market, the TILE64 processor delivers an
unprecedented two streams of broadcast-quality, high-definition
H.264-encode capability in a single chip and more than ten streams of
encode for high-definition video conferencing applications.
Availability
The T6M-100 is shipping to select customers in Q3, 2008 and will be
generally available in Q4, 2008.
