"We are pleased that EDN's editors have selected the 1004K CPS as a
finalist in the prestigious Innovation Awards competition," said
During the month of February, EDN's worldwide audience of electronics
engineers and engineering managers will use an online ballot to select the
ultimate winners from among the finalists. EDN's editorial staff and Editorial
Advisory Board also take part in determining the final winners. Readers are
encouraged to visit http://www.EDN.com/innovation to review each of the
nominees. Winners will be announced at a dinner and awards ceremony on
The 1004K CPS provides among the best performance efficiency and configurability in a multiprocessing system -- up to four single- or multi- threaded processors integrated with advanced system coherency. The 1004K coherent processing system helps lower SoC development costs since for many applications, fewer processors are needed than with other multiprocessor solutions. Multi-threading in each CPU provides significant performance gains over single-threaded multiprocessor offerings. A wide array of vertical applications such as digital home entertainment, home networking and office automation are poised to benefit from coherent multiprocessing with multi- threading. The 1004K CPS is available in two versions: the 1004Kc(TM) using integer cores, and the 1004Kf(TM) with a floating point unit in each core.
