Multi's optimising C and C++ compilers produce fast and compact code for the MPC8560's e500 core.
The compilers provide a number of key optimisations that take full advantage of the e500 core's advanced instruction set, pipeline, registers, SIMD data types, and SIMD intrinsics.
Multi automates all aspects of MPC8560 software development and is optimised for the MPC8560 e500 core architecture.
Multi features a window-oriented editor, RTOS-aware, source-level debugger, graphical program builder, run-time error checker, version control system, instruction set simulator, performance profiler, real-time RTOS EventAnalyzer and full integration with the Green Hills Probe.
Fabricated in 0.13-micron CMOS, the MPC8560 is expected to be available in speeds of up to 1GHz.
The processor features 256Kbyte of L2 cache, a 64bit, 133MHz PCI-X controller, four-channel DMA, a RapidIO port, and dual 10/100/1000 gigabit Ethernet controllers.
The MPC8560 also features an on-chip nonblocking crossbar switch fabric known as OceaN (on-chip network).
This combination of high-performance processing, versatile I/O, and high throughput makes the MPC8560 an ideal solution for a broad range of communications and networking applications.
