Networking

Overview

The growth of broadband, mobility, cloud, video-on-demand and other networking applications has resulted in a dramatic explosion in network traffic.  To support this growth, networking infrastructure equipment, both in the home/customer premises and in enterprises and carrier central offices, has needed to evolve to deliver even higher performance and intelligence for managing the large amount and diverse types of network traffic.  As a leading licensor of processor IP for Networking, MIPS has a long history of delivering a spectrum of CPU solutions that facilitate the creation of high-performance, "smart" SoCs for applications ranging from home/customer premises equipment all the way up to big-iron boxes used in carrier and enterprise networking infrastructures.

Our success stems from the very efficient MIPS® architecture.  Furthermore, our unique multi-threading technology is the perfect match for inherently highly-threaded networking applications requiring Quality of Service (QoS) support, enabling the most efficient performance in terms of area and power.  Finally, our 64-bit architecture has been popular with several many-core SoCs because of its suitability for high-end applications as well as the large ecosystem and existing code base developed for the MIPS64 architecture.
