Cisco pushs conformity of odd chip of processor of 40 nucleuses network 800 million transistor

February 27, 2008

Dispatch of sina science and technology on Feburary 27 message, according to foreign media coverage, this week released Cisco of network equipment tycoon processor of Cisco QuantumFlow network, odd chip is integrated 40 core, transistor achieves 800 million, road of Cisco Silicon Packet Processor(SPP) of the generation on Yuan Chao by implement 185 million transistor of processor.

QuantumFlow can handle 160 orders at the same time at most, develop this processor to throw 100 million dollar and more than 100 engineers in all, the engineer that has a lot of SPP also joins the development of QuantumFlow, 5 years submit 40 multinomial and patent application in all.

At present Cisco core road by implement the SPP that CRS-1 uses, come by conformity of 188 32 RISC core chip of a 100% programmable, support the flow rate of every port 40Gbps. British telecommunication and Sprint apply CRS-1 to realize IP network transition, this type user still includes Chinese telecommunication. But the detail of utility etc parameter that Cisco did not disclose QuantumFlow processor.

The personage inside course of study guesses QuantumFlow is to be Cisco CRS-1 to design, also be Catalyst 6500 switching equipment likely. Cisco plans to will hold an online and interactive meeting on March 4 before, point out will have at the appointed time great release, the information that leaks QuantumFlow may be build for its situation. Network processor conformity is in equipment of of all kinds network, include to be received with core road by implement, network safety and switching equipment platform.
