Time-to-Market

SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Denali Software, Inc., a
world-leading provider of electronic design automation (EDA) software and
intellectual property (IP), today announced that Netronome Systems has
deployed Denali Databahn(TM) PCI Express (PCIe) design cores, MMAV(TM) and
PureSpec(TM) verification IP, which support the latest PCIe I/O virtualization
(IOV) specifications from the PCI-SIG, in designing their new,
high-performance Network Flow Processor NFP-3240, targeting unified computing
architectures. Netronome's architects and engineers used Denali's Databahn IP
cores, MMAV and PureSpec verification IP products to accelerate the design and
verification of this processor, and speed overall deployment of PCI Express
technology.

"To scale network performance to 10Gbps and beyond, the NFP-3240 offers a
fully compliant PCIe v2.0 implementation including SR-IOV with 256 queues for
network I/O co-processing in heterogeneous IA/x86 designs. When faced with the
important decision as to which IP vendor has the most reputable and
silicon-proven PCI Express IP, Denali Software was the preferred vendor that
met our critical high throughput and feature requirements," states Jim
Finnegan, senior vice-president of silicon engineering at Netronome. "We rely
on Denali's high-quality, interoperable design and verification IP solutions
and excellent customer support to meet the PCIe 2.0 and IOV specifications,
our product development timeframes, and achieve a competitive advantage."

Netronome's NFP-3240 provides intelligent packet processing in a
power-efficient design, and is targeted for designers of communications
equipment whose network processing requirements extend beyond simple
forwarding. The high-performance NFP is powered by 40 multi-threaded
programmable networking cores, and runs at 1.4 GHz to deliver over 56 billion
instructions per second and 320 hardware threads that optimize memory
utilization, allowing for 1800 instructions per packet at 30 million packets
per second. This enables 20Gbps of L2-L7 deep packet processing with line-rate
security and I/O virtualization for millions of simultaneous flows. The NFP is
also power efficient, operating at only 15 to 35 watts, and delivering over
1.84 BIPS, more than double the efficiency of any similar products.

"As the leading provider of IP solutions for PCIe and IOV technology, we
continually strive to provide high-quality and configurable PCIe interface IP
solutions for our customers, such as Netronome, to reduce their design risk
and enable them to develop complex chips on schedule," remarks David Lin, vice
president of Marketing for Denali Software. "We value Netronome's confidence
in Denali and are pleased that our design and verification IP products sped
their design time and that their performance goals were met."
