See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. Brings High Performance to the MPC (1) (Mobile PC) A handheld or laptop computer. See handheld computer, laptop computer and Ultra-Mobile PC. (2) (MultiPath Channel) See multipath. 8560 and MPC8540 Processors Green Hills Software Inc., the market leader in royalty-free real-time operating systems (RTOS), today announced that the INTEGRITY RTOS is available for the PowerQUICC III MPC8560 and MPC8540 integrated communications processors from Freescale Semiconductor, a wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary A subsidiary whose parent company owns 100% of its common stock. Notes: In other words, the parent company owns the company outright and there are no minority owners. of Motorola Inc. Software developers can now develop and deploy their networking and communications applications with a total solution based on a royalty-free, memory-protected RTOS integrated with the industry-leading MULTI MULTI Multiple integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment (IDE) and optimizing C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ compilers. The PowerQUICC III integrated communications processors alleviate bottlenecks by combining a high-performance processor core with high-performance I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output . The PowerQUICC III employs a host of leading industry standards and innovative Freescale technologies including the high-performance e500 core that implements the PowerPC Book E architecture, RapidIO interconnect technology, Freescale's OCeaN crossbar switch fabric, dual gigabit Ethernet interfaces, double data rate SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. and 64-bit PCI-X/PCI interface controllers. The INTEGRITY RTOS enhances reliability and real-time determinism by never disabling interrupts during any system call, while providing applications guaranteed access to the CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. and memory for critical tasks. The INTEGRITY RTOS prevents errant or malicious code from corrupting user and kernel objects. Other RTOS solutions do not offer this protection or security, leaving systems vulnerable to failure from errant application code, viruses and hackers. Green Hills Software's development solution for the Freescale PowerQUICC III MPC8560 and MPC8540 integrated communications processors includes: -- Royalty-free licensing eliminates per-unit cost -- Availability of kernel, networking protocols and board support source code gives developers more control and visibility into software application optimization -- True real-time performance with fast, deterministic interrupt response and rapid context switching -- Message passing architecture for reliable and high-performance inter-processor and inter-task communication -- Guaranteed memory and CPU availability for total reliability -- Utilization of the processor's memory protection unit (MMU (Memory Management Unit) The part of the computer that governs memory access. Either part of the CPU chip or housed on separate chips, the MMU controls memory partitions and virtual memory. See memory and virtual memory. MMU - Memory Management Unit ) for full memory protection of user data, the kernel, device drivers and user tasks -- Integration with Green Hills Software's MULTI IDE, optimizing compilers and Green Hills Software JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) An IEEE standard for boundary scan technology. See scan technology. JTAG - Joint Test Action Group hardware debug probes in an easy-to-use, single source solution -- In-field monitoring and download provides for non-intrusive debugging and upgrades -- Complete integrated networking solutions for dual IPv4/v6, IPSec, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. , SSH, Secure Web, Firewall and more. "Many customers are selecting Green Hills Software's advanced royalty-free software solutions for their next-generation networking and telecom products," said Dan Mender, INTEGRITY's director of business development at Green Hills Software. "The combination of INTEGRITY with the PowerQUICC III processor is key to addressing the demanding requirements for total off-the-shelf solutions in today's networking marketplace."
