Green Hills Software Supports Octeon II Processors

Green Hills Software's multicore embedded software solutions are available for Cavium Networks' Octeon II range of multicore processors. The Octeon II IAP processor range fuels the voice, video and data convergence driven by mobile internet, enterprise and data-centre applications. Green Hills Software's feature-rich portfolio of software solutions has been optimised to support Cavium's Octeon II specialised networking and security accelerators.

These enhancements allow customers to utilise the unique processor-specific capabilities in the Octeon II to achieve high performance and throughput, while delivering proven, comprehensive multicore debugging capabilities for the complex, million-line-plus applications found in today's networking and telecom systems. The Octeon II processors, with 8 to 32 MIPS64 cores, deliver up to a four-fold performance increase and up to a three-fold improvement in performance/Watt over Octeon Plus processors.

This enables Cavium's OEM customers to deliver breakthrough next-generation solutions that address critical inflection points in an optimised, energy-efficient manner. Green Hills Software's solutions for Cavium deliver a flexible set of multicore operating-system configurations, extensive networking support and advanced multicore debug tools to optimise multicore software design. The Integrity real-time operating system provides total reliability and security while delivering a flexible set of multicore operating-system configurations, including single core, asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) with support for network acceleration and offload.

Integrity Secure Networking combines the Integrity RTOS security architecture, its advanced GHNet TCP/IP v4/v6 networking stack, and GateD Layer 3 routing protocols, delivering unmatched security and reliability without compromising system throughput. The Multi Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provides a complete software-development environment for building, debugging, testing and optimising multicore embedded applications for the Octeon II IAP. Green Hills Optimizing C/C++ Compilers generate the smallest and fastest code for C and C++, targeting the cnMIPS64 Architecture with specific support for the Octeon II instruction set extensions.

Green Hills Probe helps developers find and fix bugs faster than any other probes. It features comprehensive run-control and multicore processor-visibility interfaces optimised to support synchronous hardware and software multicore breakpoints. Green Hills embedded experts collaborate with end-user system designers and architects to tackle the difficult problems of legacy code porting, reuse and optimisation for VxWorks, OSE, Linux, in-house operating systems and more, along with consulting services for general system-performance optimisation.

The Green Hills suite of multicore solutions for Cavium's range of Octeon II processors will be commercially available following hardware availability from Cavium. Legacy RTOS and application porting services are available today.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
