Kalray and eSOL announced that they have agreed to establish a strategic partnership to jointly develop products that aim to improve the efficiency of system development and accelerate time to market. Their first solution, the eSOL eMCOS real time operating system (RTOS) running on the MPPA1 256, the first generation of Kalray manycore processor (codename Andey). The combination of eSOL eMCOS RTOS and Kalray's innovative MPPA® programmable manycore processor achieves extremely high computing performance and energy efficiency with low latency and predictable response times.

It is a perfect fit for applications requiring image/voice processing, encryption/signal processing, and realtime processing such as in highend automotive ADAS. Further applications enabled by this combination include video surveillance equipment, medical devices, augmentedreality (AR) devices, satellite systems, factory automation/industry equipment, and other highperformance embedded systems. The MPPA®256 is the leadingedge 256core processor, featuring 16 compute clusters of 16 processing cores, 4 I/O subsystems with highspeed interfaces including Ethernet 10Gb, DDR3, PCIe Gen3, and the Kalray NoCeXtension (NoCX) protocol for direct connection to FPGA or other MPPA® processors. The MPPA® core implements an innovative 32bit Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architecture that combines the efficiency of a DSP with the ease of programming of a CPU.
