Freescale has developed a multicore processor architecture that handles control/data plane and application aware content processing, deep packet inspection, pattern matching, network admission control and encryption acceleration – all at multi gigabit speeds.
The first implementation of the architecture is the MPC8572 PowerQUICC III family, built on the Power Architecture. The MPC8572 family provides developers of networking and communications equipment with a high performance single chip processor alternative to solutions based on asics and fpgas within multiple systems.
“Networking equipment vendors are looking for highly integrated content processing solutions that can help them simplify their system designs and enable intelligent, application protocol networks,” said Lynelle McKay, vice president and general manager of Freescale’s Digital Systems Division.
The MPC8572 features dual e500 CPU cores scaling to 1.5GHz. Other features include a 1Mbyte L2 cache, a DDR2/DDR3 controller and a choice of high speed interconnects.
Target applications include multiservice routing and switching, firewall/VPN, intrusion detection and prevention, and application aware networking equipment.
