Enea to Support IBM PowerPC 476FP Core in LSI Multicore Platform

Enea, a software and services company focused on solutions for communication-driven products, announced that the Enea OSE real time operating system supports the new IBM PowerPC 476FP Core that will be used in the LSI Multicore Platform.

The LSI Multicore Platform utilizes the new PPC476FP as one of its building blocks providing communications infrastructure equipment developers with a foundation for building a broad range of network equipment.

"Enea is glad to be a multicore RTOS partner for LSI's new communication processing solution" said Mathias Bath, senior VP of marketing at Enea. "Customers are looking to lessen the time it traditionally takes to assemble their own components when starting a new project. The combination of OSE, the PPC476FP Core and the LSI Multicore Platform will give a tangible edge by delivering extreme performance while increasing developer efficiency and reducing design complexity."

"Networking systems require multicore communications processing technology," said Tareq Bustami, multicore product marketing director, Networking Components Division, LSI. "The LSI Multicore Platform powered by the PPC476FP Core technology combined with the Enea OSE provides a scalable solution that reduces risk and development time, enabling OEMs to get to market faster."

Enea OSE is a modular, real-time operating system. OSE's pre-emptive real-time response, memory protection, supervision, error handling and run-time program loading allow for building fault-tolerant distributed systems based on multicore architectures that require deterministic real-time behavior with five nines or higher availability, the company noted in a release.
