Cypress Partners with MontaVista Software to Ensure Linux Support for Packet Processing Solutions.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Search Solution Technology Leader Validates Its Cynapse(TM) Software with MontaVista(R) Linux(R) Cypress Semiconductor Cypress Semiconductor is a semiconductor design and manufacturing company. It began operations in 1982 and listed publicly in 1986. Two years later, the company shifted over to the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, (NYSE: CY). Corporation (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) today announced a partnership with MontaVista Software MontaVista Software develops systems software, development tools and Embedded Linux-based software targeting embedded systems such as automotive electronics, communications equipment, and television set-top boxes and other connected devices and infrastructure. to provide networking system software designers with a complete solution for routing table management. By integrating Cypress's production ready table management software (Cynapse(TM)) into MontaVista's Linux OS, customers can perform their software integration knowing that they will not run into any interoperability issues between Cynapse and their MV Linux environment. Cypress's broad portfolio of network search engines is supported by the Cynapse Software Platform, which includes both development tools and production ready table management code which customers integrate directly into their control plane. Cynapse features a common high-level table management API, device drivers, and device models for all Cypress Network Search Engine product families that allow system software designers to develop critical control plane software. By bringing real-time performance to the Linux open-source architecture, MontaVista Linux empowers software architects with the high performance and flexibility needed in the communications infrastructure market to handle complex packet processing at high line rates. "The development cost of high-performance networking software often equals or exceeds the hardware development cost; our partnership with MontaVista enables customers to meet stringent performance and reliability requirements while getting to market quickly and with minimal cost due to much shorter integration cycles," said Cathal Phelan, Vice President of Cypress's Data Communications Division. "Cypress recognizes that the highest performance silicon solutions require high performance software support to be truly useful to customers." "MontaVista Software is excited to have Cypress as part of our extensive partner network," said Peder Ulander, Vice President of Marketing, MontaVista Software. "Partnering with the leader in search technology will help us meet our customer needs while extending our leadership position as the preferred Linux software platform in the communications infrastructure market." Cypress's Network Search Engines Cypress's search solution includes a comprehensive portfolio of products to address all segments of the search market. In addition to its highly successful TCAM-based solutions (Ayama(TM) 10000 and Ayama 20000 NSEs), Cypress is the only vendor to also offer an algorithmic SRAM-based forwarding search engine (Sahasra(TM) 50000) to address the search needs of systems requiring large forwarding tables of more than 1 million table entries. The Ayama 20000 NSE NSE - Network Software Environment: a proprietary CASE framework from Sun Microsystems. is the first of its kind to offer a FastLink(TM) cascade interface, a heterogeneous interface for optimized search subsystems which, when combined with Cypress's easy-to-use Cynapse software, enables seamless interworking (standard) interworking - Systems or components, possibly from different origins, working together to perform some task. Interworking depends crucially on standards to define the interfaces between the components. of Cypress TCAM-based and algorithmic NSE families. Cypress's comprehensive NSE portfolio has been adopted by leading vendors in the router, L2/L3 switch, CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) A computerized device that enables cable modems to send and receive packets over the Internet. It inserts IP packets from the Internet into MPEG frames and transmits them to the cable modems via an RF signal. , DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexor) A central office (CO) device for ADSL service that intermixes voice traffic and DSL traffic onto a customer's DSL line. It also separates incoming phone and data signals and directs them onto the appropriate carrier's network. See DSL. and storage area network (SAN) segments. About Cypress: Cypress solutions are at the heart of any system that is built to perform: consumer, computation, data communications, automotive, industrial, and solar power. Leveraging a strong commitment to customer service and performance-based process and manufacturing expertise, Cypress's product portfolio includes a broad selection of wired and wireless USB devices, CMOS image sensors, timing solutions, network search engines, specialty memories, high-bandwidth synchronous and micropower memory products, optical solutions, and reconfigurable mixed-signal arrays. Cypress stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) World's largest marketplace for securities. The exchange began as an informal meeting of 24 men in 1792 on what is now Wall Street in New York City. under the ticker symbol Ticker Symbol An arrangement of characters (usually letters) representing a particular security listed on an exchange or otherwise traded publicly.
