Macraigor Supports Multicore Processors from Cavium
February 08, 2012


Macraigor Systems will support the new state-of-the art OCTEON III MIPS64 family of 1 - 48 core multicore processors from Cavium.

Macraigor Systems is a supplier of JTAG debug support tools, and is a Cavium PACE (Partnership to Accelerate Customer End-solutions) member. The company offers JTAG-based solutions for all of the steps involved with product development in its role as a Cavium PACE member.

Cavium provides semiconductor products that enable intelligent processing for networking, communications, and the digital home. The company’s newly introduced Cavium OCTEON III family delivers breakthrough performance and application-aware features for enterprise, data center and access and service provider applications.

The company has optimized Cavium OCTEON III processors for use in cloud computing, high-end core and edge routers, metro Ethernet, enterprise switches, 3G/4G/LTE (News - Alert) base-stations, enterprise security gateways and appliances, storage networking and mobile core infrastructure equipment.

The decision to support the OCTEON III was simple, according to Craig Haller, managing partner of Macraigor Systems.

“We support the other OCTEON families and have a close working relationship with Cavium and many of their customers,” said Haller.

"With Macraigor Systems' expanded support for OCTEON III, our joint customers will continue to get access to flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software debug tools," said Tasha Castañeda, senior strategic alliance manager at Cavium. "Macraigor Systems has a strong track record of supplying outstanding solutions and support that has helped multiple OEMs speed their OCTEON-based systems to market."

Cavium has also received commitments from many of its "Partnership to Accelerate Customer End-Solutions" (PACE) ecosystem partners to extend their support to its OCTEON III MIPS64 family of 1 - 48 core multicore processors.
