MICROCROSS JOINS THE MIPS ALLIANCE PROGRAM.Microcross Inc., a provider of embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. development tools and support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services , has entered into an agreement with MIPS Technologies (MIPS Technologies, Inc., Mountain View, CA, www.mips.com) Founded in 1984 as MIPS Computer Systems Inc., the company merged with SGI in 1992 and spun off as an independent entity once again in 2000. , Inc. (Nasdaq: MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. MIPSB), for participation in the MIPS Alliance Program (MAP). MIPS Technologies is a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital consumer and network applications. Under the agreement, Microcross will provide tool suites for the MIPS32 and MIPS64 architectures and compatible processor cores, which are high-performance, 32-and 64-bit RISC processor RISC processor [Reduced Instruction Set Computer], computer arithmetic-logic unit that uses a minimal instruction set, emphasizing the instructions used most often and optimizing them for the fastest possible execution. cores for system-on-a-chip applications such as battery-operated handheld devices, cable modems, line cards, and set-top boxes. The tool suites to be provided by Microcross will be included with Microcross' GNU gnu (n  ) or wildebeest (wĭl`dəbēst'), large African antelope, genus Connochaetes. X-Tools, now shipping to 24 countries around the world.
"Alliances with third-party tools companies are key to MIPS Technologies' open business model strategy to provide fast, efficient, and successful delivery of solutions for embedded systems. Our goal is to align ourselves with vendors who provide the broadest selection and best-of-class tools, services and applications support available," said Derek Meyer, vice president of worldwide field operations at MIPS Technologies. "MAP provides members and their OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and customers with high-quality boards for early software development as well as wide-scale deployment, accelerating OEM product introductions." "Our alliance with MIPS Technologies will help keep Microcross at the forefront of providing high quality software tools for the 32- and 64-bit processors in the embedded market," said Jim Matthews, Vice President of Business Development for Microcross. "More and more customers are requesting Microcross' offering of products and support services on industry-standard MIPS-based processors. These new processors represent an excellent expansion of our current coverage, broadening our revenue base for the future." |
