Carrier grade Bandwidth Engine IC from MoSys released to productionCarrier grade Bandwidth Engine IC from MoSys released to production

MoSys has announced the production release of its first generation high speed serial access Bandwidth Engine IC product. The MSR576 device is optimized for high data rate, high access rate use in networking, video processing and compute acceleration applications and is supported by FPGAs and ASICs supplers. The architecture provides over two Giga-accesses per second (GA/s).

Bandwidth Engine ICs are optimized for fast, intelligent access to accelerate the processing of packet header information supporting high data rate traffic in networking and communications systems. The device is suited to traffic management, classification, network services, intrusion detection and prevention, as well as video processing applications. Bandwidth Engine enables equipment manufacturers to deliver line card solutions, combining multi-100 Gigabit per second (Gbps) capacity with significant numbers of data accesses to meet increased traffic demand, quality of service and expanded features.

This first generation Bandwidth Engine device is built with 576 Megabits of MoSys' patented high density 1T SRAM memory and contains onboard algorithmic logic units that provide up to 2.7 GA/s and up to 1 Giga-operations per second for the acceleration of common functions in 100GE applications. The device supports peak data rates of 198 Gbps when utilizing 16 lanes of 10.3125 Gbps, CEI-11G and XFI compatible SerDes interface. Bandwidth Engine enables full duplex and concurrent operations with the packetized, 90% efficient GigaChip interface transport protocol.

The Bandwidth Engine IC has been fully qualified for carrier class applications and is available for volume production now.
