Enea announces OSE Multicore Edition

New Hybrid AMP/SMP Multicore RTOS Delivers Industry Leading
Scalability and Performance

Enea® (Nordic Exchange/Small Cap/ENEA), a global software and
services company focused on solutions for communication-driven
products, today announced the immediate availability of Enea OSE
Multicore Edition, a unique and innovative kernel design that
combines the advantages of both traditional Asymmetric
Multiprocessing (AMP) and Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) while
avoiding the disadvantages inherent in both programming models. This
powerful solution will help developers of advanced systems achieve
the performance, scalability and ease-of-use needed to meet
increasingly stringent market requirements.

Enea OSE Multicore Edition kernel delivers on the ease-of-use promise
of SMP when it comes to simplicity, flexibility, application
transparency and debugging. But it behaves like an AMP RTOS when it
comes to scalability, determinism and performance. OSE Multicore
Edition provides a homogeneous and portable application framework
with linear scalability for high speed processing applications while
at the same time being a feature rich RTOS offering POSIX file
systems, SMP threading and full IP networking support. API
compatibility with Enea OSE means legacy OSE applications will be
fully supported - guaranteeing a smooth transition to multicore
processors. In addition, Enea OSE Multicore Edition offers the option
of a "friction free" execution model on individual processor cores
that can host run-to-completion software at bare metal speed.

"Enea OSE Multicore Edition was primarily designed to meet the
performance and scalability requirements in the networking market,
but will address high performance applications equally well in a wide
range of industry segments." says Mathias Båth, senior vice president
of marketing at Enea. "The advantages of the hybrid AMP/SMP RTOS are
such that they will be appreciated whenever ease-of-use, performance
and scalability are key considerations".

The hybrid AMP/SMP kernel in OSE Multicore Edition is based on a
number of distinct innovations:


  * Essential services in OSE are implemented according to a micro
    kernel model which allows IP stacks, file systems, application
    loaders, etc. to be located on different cores, while
    applications can access these services regardless of location in
    the system (location transparency).
  * A kernel that instantiates a separate scheduler on each core with
    associated data structures to preserve determinism and realtime
    characteristics.
  * User defined process migration and load balancing based on low
    intrusion mechanisms to measure CPU load on each core.
  * A lightweight kernel internal IPC mechanism called kernel events
    used to perform asynchronous, cross core transactions in order to
    avoid the use of fine-granular locking designs, which has a
    detrimental effect on performance.


Enea OSE Multicore Edition lies at the heart of Enea's comprehensive
approach to supporting developers working on multicore systems. In
addition to its high performance RTOS, Enea provides the
Eclipse-based Enea Optima development tools, a suite of powerful
system debug and profiling tools. Completing Enea's solution is a
professional services team unmatched in the industry.  Enea
consultants are prepared to support the full range of the development
lifecycle from multicore architectural advice, to platform
adaptation, to application development that unleashes the power of
today's processors.
