RMI's Processor Families Provide the Ultimate in Acceleration through Advanced Interconnect Technologies
Raza Microelectronics, Inc. (RMI(R)), a leading supplier of
processors for communications and consumer applications announced
today that RMI will support the broad market attach strategy of Intel
Corporation that involves using Geneseo (next generation PCI Express*)
technologies in the integration of RMI's XLR and XLS Processors into
Intel-based products to provide unparalleled performance. Currently
the high-performance acceleration capabilities of RMI's Scalable
Processor Solutions(TM) Processor families can be integrated with an
Intel Platform to produce solutions providing the ultimate in features
and performance. RMI will be showcasing its XLR532 PCIX-I Card as part
of the "Wall of Accelerators" at the Intel Developer's Forum in San
Francisco from September 17-20, 2007.
RMI's Scalable Processor Solutions are multi-core multi-threaded
processors providing a rich set of features and performance to address
the wide variety of integrated next generation applications, including
integrated security, Web services, virtualized storage, load
balancing, server offload and intelligent routing and switching
systems. The XLR 700 and XLR 500 series processors are software and
hardware compatible and each processor is available in a variety of
power options including standard, low and ultra low power. The XLS
Processor(TM) family consists of cost-effective devices for embedded
communication and networking, SMB and client oriented solutions. These
solutions include integrated security, access points, routers and
switch products. Each device within its series is software and
hardware compatible, and the XLS 600, 400, and 200 series processors
are software compatible.
Today the integrated use of an Scalable Processor Solutions
processor with Intel(R) Xeon(R) Multi-Core processors provides best of
class performance in many solutions such as communications and storage
applications. By taking advantage of the packet processing
capabilities of the RMI Scalable Processor Solutions processor with
the compute processing capabilities of the Intel processor,
applications can be accelerated to a new level. For example, IBM has
used this integrated RMI/Intel architecture in their Proventia GX6116,
which provides exceptional performance in network throughput while
providing high-performance intrusion protection.
For future RMI Scalable Processor Solutions, the addition of
Geneseo (next generation PCI Express*) technologies will provide the
next level in high performance. RMI will include this capability in
its next generation high-end XLR Processor products, and with this,
the full capabilities of the XLR Processor will be able to take
advantage of the exceptional speed and low latency of the of the new
interface.
"The collaboration between RMI and Intel is extremely valuable and
is a strong testament to the strength of our solutions and the
adoption of the XLR and XLS Processors by our customers," said Lance
Smith, vice president and general manager, Scalable Processor
Solutions, RMI. "This collaboration will help drive future
implementations of our products and ultimately provide our customers
with the solutions they need to conduct their business."
"By working with RMI, our mutual customers will be able to deploy
advanced solutions available in the marketplace. We see the combined
use of RMI's XLR and XLS Processors in Intel-based platforms as a way
customers can deliver a scalable range of price and performance
solutions, each of which provide unparalleled features and
performance," said Anthony Neal-Graves, General Manager, marketing and
technology solutions, Intel Corporation.
