IP developer joins EEMBC's networking
subcommittee
Netcleus Systems Corporation has joined the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium's (EEMBC's) networking subcommittee.
Netcleus Systems Corporation of Japan, has joined the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium's (EEMBC's) networking subcommittee Netcleus, which designs and delivers innovative IP cores for data communications and network applications, has demonstrated its experience in core and distribution networks with a DES (Data Encryption Standard) IP core and a Gigabit Ethernet IP core with an integrated 10Mbit/s, 100Mbit/s or 1Gbit/s Ethernet MAC, 1000BASE-X PCS, and DMA controller

Adaptive Digital Technologies has been selected to develop a high-density turnkey DSP solution for TelcoBridges' TB640 platform.
The company has also introduced a wireless LAN IP core consisting of an 802.11 MAC and 802.11a PLCP Verilog source code.
Solutions from Netcleus are based on a real-time architectural processing structure (RAPS), which in turn consists of a proprietary CPU, protocol, and RTOS accelerators.
The RAPS from Netcleus is designed to provide a tenfold gain in performance compared to conventional CPUs running network processing firmware.
Netcleus solutions are also designed to maintain a high level of performance at low clock speeds.
The very low power consumption enabled by this capability is an especially significant feature in portable applications such as mobile phones and portable game systems being used over a wireless LAN.
"Netcleus has joined the industry leaders who rely on EEMBC benchmarks as a credible method of demonstrating the performance of their processor cores to customers", says Markus Levy, EEMBC president.
"We look forward to the technical contributions that Netcleus will surely make as an EEMBC networking subcommittee member".
The EEMBC networking subcommittee is the working group responsible for EEMBC's Networking Version 2.0 benchmark software suite, which allows users to approximate the performance of processors tasked with moving packets in networking applications.
Delivering realistically large data sets and transactions, Networking Version 2.0 creates a level playing field for processors with large caches and those that have implemented networking optimisations or pipelines tuned for handling the types of code commonly used in networking applications.
The suite's seven benchmark kernels include IP Packet Check, IP Reassembly, IP Network and Address Translator, Route Lookup, Open Shortest Path First, Quality of Service, and TCP.
