The Future of Multicore is Here!

Achieve bare-metal performance and scalability with the ease of use of Symmetric Multiprocessing.  Think this is impossible?  You need to read Enea’s new white paper: 

    Enea Hypervisor: Multicore Simplified

    The Enea Hypervisor enables system consolidation and greater design freedom by allowing multiple high performance.

    The Enea Hypervisor is based on OSE micro kernel technology and runs Enea OSE applications at native processor speeds without compromising any real-time critical properties, and takes as guests Linux Operating System and optionally semiconductor specific executive environments for bare-metal speed packet processing.  Benefits include:

    • Hardware consolidation to reduce bil of materials costs
    • Maximum design freedom through operating system and architecture choice
    • Maintain investments through legacy software reuse
    • GPL separation ensures legal compliance

    This implementation is ideal for developers who want to take advantage of the proven power, speed and reliability of OSE, while also utilizing the vast ecosystem of third party software available on Linux. Communication between Linux and Enea OSE applications is handled by Enea LINX, an OS independent, high-performance inter-process communication protocol. Services such as IP connectivity through Ethernet port sharing, File Systems and Shell commands can be accessible from both Enea OSE and Linux domains.

    To ensure system integrity, OSE and Linux applications co-exist in secure domains where common resources like memory and devices are protected. In addition Enea Hypervisor provides support for guest OS error handling as well as Linux guest application crash analyis. Enea will provide out-of-the-box support for standard Kernel.org Linux, as well as commercially supported Linux distributions
