Enea Simplifies Multicore Development with Hypervisor


The Enea Hypervisor Enables System Consolidation and Greater Design Freedom on
Multicore Processors

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, 2 March, 2010 - Enea (NASDAQ OMX Nordic:ENEA) today announced
that it has extended its multicore technology lead with Enea Hypervisor. The
Enea Hypervisor <http://www.enea.com/hypervisor> (www.enea.com/hypervisor
<http://www.enea.com/hypervisor>) implements multiple high performance computing
environments on top of multicore processors, that benefits developers of next
generation network equipment with lower development costs by enabling hardware
consolidation, increased performance in the system with higher throughput and
shorter development time.

"Multicore devices enable the consolidation of applications into a single chip,
that in the past, may have been running on different processors and different
operating systems. Running multiple operating systems on the same multicore
processor can be extremely complex," said Mathias Båth, senior vice president of
marketing at Enea. "The Enea Hypervisor allows heterogeneous operating systems
to co-exist in a straightforward fashion, taking out the complexity of
configuration and software management - while speeding product development and
lowering costs"

The Enea Hypervisor is based on OSE micro kernel technology and runs Enea OSE
applications at native processor speeds without compromising any real-time
critical properties, and takes as guests Linux Operating System and optionally
semiconductor specific executive environments for bare-metal speed packet
processing. This implementation is ideal for developers who want to take
advantage of the proven power, speed and reliability of OSE, while also
utilizing the vast ecosystem of third party software available on Linux.
Communication between Linux and Enea OSE applications is handled by Enea LINX,
an OS independent, high-performance inter-process communication protocol.
Services such as IP connectivity through Ethernet port sharing, File Systems and
Shell commands can be accessible from both Enea OSE and Linux domains. To ensure
system integrity, OSE and Linux applications co-exist in secure domains where
common resources like memory and devices are protected. In addition Enea
Hypervisor provides support for guest OS error handling as well as Linux guest
application crash analysis. Enea will provide out-of-the-box support for
standard Kernel.org Linux, as well as commercially supported Linux
distributions.

The Eclipse-based Enea Optima development tools are available for system and
application debugging based on the Enea Hypervisor. The Optima Log Analyzer
supports log fusion from applications and operating systems using the Enea
Hypervisor, providing a coherent system event view and analysis of the entire
platform.
