Enea to Support Next Generation Freescale Advanced Multiprocessing
Series of QorIQ® Processors

Deep Integration that delivers High Performance and Great Ease of Use is
the Hallmark of the Enea-Freescale Alliance 

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, June 22, 2011 - Enea® (NASDAQ OMX Nordic:ENEA) today
announced that the company will support the next generation Advanced
Multi-Processing Series (AMP) of Freescale Semiconductor QorIQ® embedded
multicore processors.  Enea support will focus on its award-winning Enea
OSE® Multicore Edition Realtime Operating System (RTOS)
(www.enea.com/ose (http://www.enea.com/ose)), Enea® Hypervisor and the
Enea® Optima Development Suite.  For developers of high-bandwidth
applications like wired and wireless communications equipment, military
systems, video distribution and many others, Enea software will not only
deliver a powerful and scalable development platform, but will also
unlock the full range of advanced features in the AMP family including
hardware accelerators and power management.

“Manufacturers of communications equipment and other bandwidth intensive
applications are demanding more performance from multicore processors,”
said Marcus Hjortsberg, vice president of marketing at Enea.  “In
response, Freescale has taken the QorIQ family to the next level.  We
are excited to be able to support their latest offering with what we
expect will be deepest level of integration in the industry.” 

“We are excited to once again be working with Enea to deliver integrated
multicore hardware/software platforms that meet the demanding
requirements of tomorrow's communications equipment,” said Brett Butler,
vice president and general manager of Freescale's Networking Processor
Division.  “Enea's realtime software platforms optimize the performance
and power efficiency of our highly advanced QorIQ AMP series of
processors. Enea's support for the platform is great news for our shared
customers.”
 
The QorIQ AMP product line is designed to deliver optimized flexibility,
performance and power management.  Built around the new multi-threaded,
64-bit Power Architecture® e6500 core, the AMP series will scale from
single core to 24 virtual core devices.  The e6500 will incorporate the
AltiVec® vector processing unit for high-bandwidth processing
applications.  Additionally, hardware accelerators and co-processing
engines will give developers a wealth of options for packet, protocol
and security acceleration.  Freescale's “cascading power management”
technology ensures a fine-tuned power management framework for cores and
processing units.

Enea's runtime software and tools are tightly integrated with
Freescale's QorIQ family of multicore processors.  At the heart of
Enea's offering is the Enea OSE Multicore Edition RTOS that features a
unique hybrid kernel design that combines the ease-of-use properties of
symmetric multi-processing (SMP) and the high-performance capabilities
of asymmetric multi-processing (AMP).  OSE has been designed to take
advantage of Freescale software and hardware technology to deliver the
utmost in integration, performance and programmability.  The Enea
Hypervisor fully utilizes the QorIQ hardware virtualization support,
while the Enea Optima development environment works seamlessly with the
Freescale CodeWarrior® tool suite offering a complete end-to-end
development experience.  Optima's system level debugging functionality
offers a profound level of visibility into multicore systems.  Optima
captures detailed logs from each core which can be synchronized and
visualized in 2D and 3D for finding difficult bugs or establishing
optimum performance levels.
