[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nUnleash the Maximum Performance Potential of RapidIO\n\n\nOTTAWA, May 12 /CNW Telbec/ - Tundra Semiconductor Corporation (TSX:TUN),\na leader in System Interconnect, today announced its new Serial RapidIO(R)\nSystem Modeling Tool(TM). The new System Modeling Tool allows wireless,\nmilitary, imaging, video infrastructure and storage OEMs to unleash the full\nperformance potential and features of RapidIO interconnect to enhance system\nlevel performance, optimize architecture and reduce power consumption.\n\n\nTundra's RapidIO System Modeling Tool improves end-to-end packet\ntransfers by modeling not only the switch fabric, but also the behavior of the\nendpoints in the system, allowing designers to plan and examine the behavior\nof end-to-end transactions. Customers can simulate various traffic flows\nthroughout the system to uncover the optimal priorities for system traffic\nflow performance. The new tool, along with the expertise of Tundra Application\nEngineers, allows designers to simulate the performance of multiple systems\nreusing a single hardware platform. Modeling more than one end-use application\noffers OEMs significant cost saving opportunities as designers will have\nperformance insight at the design stage of the project. Re-use of hardware\nplatforms to serve more than one end application will get Tundra's customers\nto market faster and with lower bill-of-material cost than their competitors.\n\n\n"Tundra's lead customers in wireless and video have benefited from this\nRapidIO System Modeling Tool by examining and testing the behavior of traffic\nflow to endpoints in various scenarios throughout their systems. Customers can\nnow evaluate and compare system architecture performance results against a\nRapidIO-based architecture, without hardware or software investments. This\nunique capability offered only by Tundra also provides very early access to\nTundra RapidIO Gen2 features, allowing optimization of upcoming board designs\naround Tundra's new solutions," said Daniel Hoste, President and Chief\nExecutive Officer, Tundra Semiconductor.\n\n\n"System simulation is a key advantage for RapidIO designers, providing\nperformance and system traffic flow understanding, before hardware investments\nare made. This new tool offered by Tundra will allow designers using RapidIO\nto tap into the high-en...
