MIPS at the core of advanced smart cards
New from MIPS Technologies, the MIPS32 4KSc smart card core is a high-performance, synthesisable embedded 32bit processor core for ultra-low-power advanced smart card applications.
Adaptec, the world leader in data storage access solutions, plans to initially use the core in products targeted at high-density server systems.
"We're seeing an interesting trend towards high-performance integrated RAID solutions in ultradense server configurations.
The 64bit MIPS solution is exactly the fit for the performance space we're targeting", said Lee Caswell, vice president and general manager of Adaptec's Storage Solutions Group.
"Our customers are on the edge of their seats as they realize the impact they'll see from a MIPS Technologies 64bit synthesisable core married with Adaptec's I/O and PCI-X cores.
Not only will it provide the performance we need, but we're also showing customers the advantage of the design flexibility and 32bit code compatibility, which keep the cost down.
Above all, it gives us more than enough headroom to meet our customers' needs well into the next generation".
