TI Partners with HP Project Moonshot and Pathfinder Innovation Ecosystem
Enabling a Better Path to the Cloud
?
(Taipei, Taiwan, April 16, 2013)? Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today announced that it will participate in Hewlett-Packard's (HP) Project Moonshot and Pathfinder Innovation Ecosystem to help HP develop innovative, energy-efficient server technologies that optimize new forms of IT workloads. TI's recent announcement of its KeyStone II multi-core SoCs will further facilitate the design, architecture, standardization and construction of innovative solutions. TI's recently announced KeyStone II-based multi-core SoCs will further facilitate the design, architecture, standardization, and deployment of innovative solutions for today's extreme-scale requirements.

HP Project Moonshot is a multi-year, multi-phase program to develop a new class of software-defined servers, including low-power focused computing technologies, to address the infrastructure pressures of emerging application trends. HP Project Moonshot is a pioneer in future extreme scale technology, pioneering new state-of-the-art IT solutions for modern architectures and utilizing innovative server designs to help customers dramatically reduce device space, power consumption, and costs.
?
Over the past year, TI and HP have worked closely to integrate the SoC with the Moonshot System. TI's KeyStone II SoC-based SoC integrates fixed- and floating-point TMS320C66x digital signal processor (DSP) cores, multiple ARM?Cortex?-A15 MPCore?processors, packet processing, security processing, and Ethernet switching, Security processing, and Ethernet switching, providing customers with the performance, scalability and programmability they need for a wide range of applications in markets such as high-performance computing, cloud computing, and communications infrastructure. Compared to existing solutions, the new SoCs offer customers more than four times the capacity and performance with the same power consumption*. Thanks to the C-Programmable floating-point C66x DSP core, massive computational performance can be achieved with only low power consumption. The new SoCs combine features to deliver the industry's best performance and power consumption. Other key features of the KeyStone architecture include:
?
-? The industry's first 4 ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore processor-based embedded SoCs provide developers with exceptional capacity, performance, and dramatically reduced power consumption for networked, high-performance computing;
-? Combining the Cortex-A15 processor, C66x DSPs, packet processing, security processing, and Ethernet switching, it transforms the instantaneous cloud into an optimized high-performance, low-power processing platform;
-? With more than 20 software compliant devices available for both the KeyStone I and KeyStone II series, customers can easily design from a wide range of devices to meet the demands of the high-performance marketplace with integrated, low-power and low-cost products.
?
Brian Glin *** an, vice president of TI's Processor Business Unit, said that the scalability and high performance of TI SoCs, paired with the low power requirements of HP's Moonshot System, allow customers to develop solutions that meet the changing and stringent demands of markets such as high-performance computing, cloud computing, and communications infrastructure. TI looks forward to working with HP to create new business opportunities in the market.
?
The HP Pathfinder Innovation Ecosystem, an extension of Moonshot, establishes close collaboration with industry-leading technology partners to accelerate the development and deployment of energy-efficient, workload-optimized servers, and TI is a member of this ecosystem, collaborating with HP and nearly 25 operating system and independent software developers to drive breakthroughs and innovations in performance and scale. TI is a member of this group and will work with HP and nearly 25 other operating system and independent software developers to drive breakthroughs and innovations in performance and scale.
?
Paul Santeler, vice president and general manager, Industry Standard Servers and Software, Hyperscale Business Unit, HP, said that in today's connected world, existing IT technology infrastructures are under unprecedented pressure. HP Moonshot will permanently change the way customers and consumers interact with each other by accelerating the pace of innovative solutions developed in collaboration with industry-leading partners.
