"NetLogic Microsystems Expands Industry-Leading XLP Multi-Core Processor

 into Network Storage Market"

 Flagship XLP multi-core processor family leverages breakthrough

 architecture with quad-issue, quad-threaded, out-of-order execution

 and storage hardware acceleration to deliver the highest performance

 for next-generation data center/enterprise/SMB SAN and NAS systems

 July 25, 2011

  http://www.netlogicmicro.com/News/pr/2011/11-07-25XLPStorage.asp

  "... today announced the availability of the XLP316T multi-core

   processor, which is optimized to deliver unparalleled performance

   and intelligence for the rapidly growing storage-area networking

   (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS) markets in data center,

   enterprise and small-to-midsize business (SMB) networks."

.....

  "The best-in-class XLP316T processor integrates 16 high-performance

   NXCPUs featuring a highly differentiated quad-issue, quad-threaded,

   superscalar out-of-order processor architecture capable of operating

   at up to 2.0 GHz to provide the industry's highest multi-core

   processing performance.  In addition, the XLP316T processor,

   manufactured in TSMC's advanced 40nm process technology, offers unique

   features, such as RAID 5 and RAID 6 hardware acceleration, storage

   de-duplication acceleration, high-speed Serial ATA (SATA) interfaces

   and large on-chip L3 cache, making it ideally suited to storage systems

   that require the highest performance, functionality and lowest power."

.....

  "To complement the 16 NXCPUs, the XLP316T multi-core processor offers

   fully-autonomous processing engines that provide independent and

   complete offload of certain network and storage functions from the

   NXCPUs, including:

   *)64 Gbps RAID-5/RAID-6 hardware acceleration

   *)Storage De-Duplication hardware acceleration

   *)10 Gbps Security Acceleration Engines supporting encryption,

     decryption and authentication protocols for networking, wireless

     and storage applications

   *)20 Gbps Network Acceleration Engines for ingress/egress packet

     parsing and management

   *)Packet Ordering Engines supporting 32k flows

   *)TCP Segmentation Offload Engines

   *)IEEE 1588 Hardware Time Stamping hardware acceleration"

.....

  "The XLP316T processor also integrates a wide range of high-speed

   interfaces, including:

   *)Serial ATA (4x)

   *)PCI-ExpressR Gen2 (2x8 or 4x4 or 1x4 configurations)

   *)10 Gigabit Ethernet XAUI (2 ports)

   *)Gigabit Ethernet SGMII (8 lanes)

   *)USB2.0 (4x)"
