NPU design

Network processors (NPU) are replacing hard-wired ASICs and fixed-function chips in a variety of networking equipment. These chips are appearing in new designs including edge routers, ethernet switches, multiservice provisioning platforms, metro-Ethernet switches and wireless basestations. As such, the network processor has emerged as a strategic component of new system designs.

Uninord has strong and acknowledged design expertise for EZchip NPU based systems. EZchip's network processors scale from 1Gbps to 200Gbps and offer processing flexibility, integration and overall lower system cost to enable networking equipment vendors support of new protocols and applications for the dynamic environment of next generation network products.

For NPU based application Uninord offers:

"They do have a deep understanding about EzChip's network processors."
