Green Hills Software Announces Support for
P.A. Semi’s PWRficient Family of Processors
Immediate Availability of Software Solution for High Performance
Multicore Power Architecture Processors
SANTA BARBARA, CA—April 21, 2008 — Green Hills Software,
Inc., the technology leader in device software optimization (DSO) and real-time
operating systems (RTOS), today announced the immediate availability
of its comprehensive software development solution targeting P.A. Semi’s
PWRficient™ processor family, built on Power
Architecture™ technology. Components of the Green Hills Software
development toolkit include royalty-free RTOSes, optimizing
C/C++ compilers for Power Architecture, MULTI integrated
development environment (IDE), virtual prototyping platform, and high-speed
hardware probes.
Green Hills Software’s uniquely innovative and integrated technology
enables developers to create high-performance, highly reliable products,
based on the PWRficient (PA6T core), in the least amount of time and
at the lowest cost.
“Embedded systems designers seeking maximum performance per watt
will be drawn to the combination of the PWRficient platform and software
solutions from Green Hills,” said Dan Dobberpuhl, president and
CEO, P.A. Semi. “Green Hills Software’s industry leading
real-time operating systems and software development tools enable application
developers to realize the maximum potential of our Power Architecture
platform.”
“The PWRficient achieves top end Power Architecture performance
in a surprisingly low power envelope, enabling designers to dramatically
increase the level of functionality that can be realized in an embedded
footprint,” stated David Kleidermacher, chief technology officer,
Green Hills Software. “We are pleased to bring the world’s
most proven and advanced Power Architecture software development solutions
to this exciting platform.”
Green Hills Software Development Tools
Corporations across a wide range of industries – including telecommunications, aerospace, industrial
control, medical, automotive,
and consumer electronics - have
built electronic devices using Green Hills Software’s technology.
With more than ten thousand users, the MULTI integrated development environment
is a proven technology for multicore software development. The Green
Hills Power Architecture compilers are the most often selected for publishing
certified scores on the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium
(EEMBC) suite. The Green Hills development tool suite also includes the
DoubleCheck™ static analyzer and a high speed virtual prototyping
environment.
Royalty-free Real-time Operating Systems
Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY family of RTOSes enables engineers
to develop sophisticated yet highly reliable applications. INTEGRITY,
an open standards conformant real-time operating system, utilizes a number
of hardware and software mechanisms in order to implement a securely
partitioned architecture that ensures time and space protection and prevents
errant and malicious tasks from corrupting user data, the kernel, interprocess
communications, device drivers and other user tasks. INTEGRITY also enhances
reliability and security by guaranteeing deterministic response for all
of its services. INTEGRITY is integrated with a comprehensive set of
middleware, including secure networking, file
systems, USB, and graphics.
About the PWRficient™ Processor
PWRficient 64-bit multicore processors, based on the Power Architecture,
redefine power, cost, and throughput efficiency in high-performance
processing. The unique system-on-chip architecture and design delivers
high performance at phenomenally low power consumption. In addition
to the processor cores, PWRficient processors offer high performance
and single-chip integration of many high-performance peripherals, such
as memory controllers, as well as high-speed I/O to dramatically reduce
device cost and power and enable high throughput at low latency.
Availability
Green Hills Software’s INTEGRITY real-time operating system, C/C++
compilers, Green Hills Probes, and advanced multicore MULTI IDE are available
today for PWRficient PA6T-based software development.
