CG Linux supports multicore MIPS64

Montavista says its Linux distribution for Carrier Grade infrastructure systems now supports five MIPS64-based multicore system-on-chip processors from Cavium. Specifically, MontaVista Linux Carrier Grade Edition 5.0 (CGE) now supports Cavium's CN5800, CN5600, CN5200, CN5000, and CN3800 processor families, the commercial Linux OS and tools provider said.

Cavium's multicore Octeon processors range from single core to 16-core models based on the company's 64-bit implementation of the MIPS instruction set. Other networking equipment vendors offering multicore MIPS64 SoCs include Broadcom and Raza Microelectronics Inc. (RMI); however, Cavium's offerings appear to scale to a greater number of cores per SoC, at this time.
