RTOS central to Enea's support for LSI Axxia range

This integrated multicore-based offering, including Enea OSE, Enea Optima and Enea's packet processing framework, will simplify data-plane acceleration for original equipment manufacturers building a range of wireless applications, including video streaming, web browsing and high-quality digital voice.

LSI Axxia communication processors are capable of processing large volumes of wireless traffic with low latency and no load on the complex of the central processing unit (CPU) .

Virtual Pipeline technology uses deterministic modelling and distributed queue management to optimise inter-processor message routing.

The result is improved efficiency and less traffic congestion.

This capability also reduces CPU utilisation and bottlenecks and provides security processing.

A suite of development tools and application libraries with C-API enable rapid development and system integration for networking systems and complement a full range of Enea support.

Enea support for the LSI Axxia range includes Enea OSE, a modular, full-featured RTOS optimised for complex multicore systems.

To take advantage of the latest multicore processors, Enea OSE is configured with a kernel design that combines the advantages of both traditional asymmetric multiprocessing and symmetric multiprocessing while avoiding the disadvantages inherent in both programming models.

The Enea Optima tool suite builds on the open-source Eclipse platform and C/C++ development tools technology and provides advanced system-level browsing, debugging, profiling and analysis tools, which simplify the debugging and optimisation of large-scale distributed applications spanning multiple processing engines.

Enea will support the Axxia range with its packet processing framework, a portable Ansi C-compliant solution that optimises the data plane through a 'bare-metal' execution model and the support for polled device drivers.

The support is initially provided for UDP termination and IP forwarding.
