Fifth generation OCTEON family supports 4 to 36 Arm v8 cores coupled with comprehensive set of hardware accelerators for networking, security, and wireless infrastructure applications<\/strong>
\nSANTA CLARA, Calif. (March 3, 2020) \u2013 Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced OCTEON\u00ae TX2, the latest family of infrastructure processors targeting a wide variety of wired and wireless networking equipment including switches, routers, secure gateways, firewall, network monitoring, 5G base stations, and smart network interface controllers (NICs).\u00a0 Massive increases in data traffic coupled with escalating requirements for end-to-end security are intensifying the need for highly scalable compute platforms with integrated workload-optimized hardware accelerators to meet performance, power and total cost of ownership requirements.\u00a0 Building on five generations of the industry\u2019s most scalable and widely adopted infrastructure processor platform, the OCTEON TX2 family is enabled by a broad software ecosystem including a feature-rich software development kit (SDK) and virtualization support, delivering a unique combination of performance and programmability.\u00a0 The OCTEON TX2 portfolio extends Marvell\u2019s industry-leading performance and scalability, delivering a 2.5x improvement over the previous generation and scaling up to 200Gbps of packet processing throughput.
\n\"jl\"<\/a>Marvell\u2019s OCTEON TX2 infrastructure processor family combines up to 36 cores, based on the Arm\u00ae v8-A architecture with configurable and programmable hardware accelerator blocks, connected by Marvell\u2019s field-proven and highly scalable coherent interconnect.\u00a0 Compared to architectures that process data solely on CPU cores, these accelerator blocks \u2013 which include security, packet processing, and traffic management functions \u2013 are able to meet the most demanding performance and power requirements.\u00a0 The integrated hardware accelerators offer 2.5x improvement over Marvell\u2019s previous generation of OCTEON processors with scalable throughput ranging from 10Gbps to over 200 Gbps making them ideal for 5G base station and transport network infrastructure, security, cloud and data center, enterprise networking, and intelligent offload applications.
\nThe OCTEON platform is enabled by a mature and widely deployed SDK, supported by robust software ecosystems consisting of both open source and commercial offerings.\u00a0 The platform includes firmware, Linux OS and multiple distributions, virtualization, containers, data plane development kit (DPDK), protocol stacks, infrastructure management and orchestration like OpenStack and Kubernetes, and virtual network functions (VNFs).\u00a0 In addition, Marvell supports a full routing stack including TCP, SSL, and IPSEC support and DPDK support for L2\/L3 forwarding and IPSEC.
\n\u201cToday\u2019s data infrastructure requires significantly faster network throughput and higher end-to-end security at all nodes of the network,\u201d said John Sakamoto, vice president of Infrastructure Processor Business Unit at Marvell.\u00a0 \u201cBuilt on more than a decade of expertise, the OCTEON TX2 family extends Marvell\u2019s performance leadership in supporting high performance datapath and security applications with a 2.5x performance boost over previous generations.\u201d
\n\u201cHigh-performance data networks require increased compute performance and efficiency as we enter the 5G era,\u201d said Mohamed Awad, vice president of marketing, Infrastructure Line of Business, Arm. \u201cOCTEON TX2, based on the Armv8-A architecture, enables new levels of performance to meet the demands of next generation networking and cloud data center applications.\u201d
\nMarvell\u2019s CN91xx, CN92xx, CN96xx, and CN98xx processor families include:
\n\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a04 – 36 cores based on the Armv8-A architecture ranging up to 2.4 GHz frequency
\n\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Rich I\/O with 25G SerDes-based I\/O interfaces, e.g. 100GbE, 50GbE, 40GbE, 25GbE, 10GbE, 2.5GbE, 1GbE Ethernet ports and PCIe gen4 interfaces supporting root-complex and end-point configurations
\n\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Enhanced NITROX V\u00ae security co-processors which accelerate a comprehensive set of asymmetric and symmetric cryptographic operations
\n\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Hardware accelerators support with comprehensive packet processing hardware offload, including packet receive, flexible packet parsing, flow classification, buffer management, QoS (quality of service), transmit processing and hierarchical traffic shaping and scheduling
\n\u2022\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Innovative and unique load-balancing and work scheduling hardware which accounts for QoS, packet ordering and synchronization
\nMarvell\u2019s OCTEON TX2 CN9130, CN92xx and CN96xx are available now with reference designs and development kits.\u00a0 Marvell\u2019s CN98xx will begin sampling in the second quarter of 2020.
