Maximize Performance

Wind River VxWorks

Max out Multi-core Performance
with Wind River VxWorks

Moving to multi-core does not guarantee big performance gains equivalent to your platform's core configuration. You need an operating system with advanced features that allows you to increase performance commensurate with your core count while still maintaining secure and robust isolation. VxWorks is the only real-time operating system capable of exercising the full power of the T4240's multiple cores and acceleration enhancements.

Full hardware thread optimized scheduling
Unique multi-core configurations including symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP), and SMP m2n (any-to-any)
Memory management unit (MMU) 40-bit physical address support
Data path acceleration architecture (DPAA):
- Cryptography acceleration
- RegEx pattern matching acceleration
- (De)Compression acceleration
- Packet parsing, classification, and distribution
Power management
AltiVec technology support
