Because Internet Machines is focused on developing valuable intellectual property rather than reinventing readily available technology, the IMpower family raises the bar for performance and features, while remaining easy to use.

The IMpower family delivers the highest level of integration and performance available today for OC-192c and 10 Gigabit systems, and the flexibility of its architecture assures scalability to OC-768.

The three chips are designed to work together to deliver a complete system-centric solution, or designers can use industry-standard interfaces to incorporate an individual chip with other networking components.

Each IMpower chip uses "any header and payload" processing that allows it to concurrently handle multiple different protocols and services on different subchannels.

Simply Powerful. The NPE10 is a single chip, protocol-independent 10 Gbps network processing engine that is easy to program, but behind the scenes, uses massively parallel processors for unprecedented performance.

Simple. A straightforward single-threaded programming model simplifies design integration, and developers can use familiar, off-the-shelf GNU compilers and assemblers. In addition, a full suite of development tools, including forwarding code and a clock cycle-accurate software simulator of the NPE10, is available.

Powerful. By using massively parallel RISC processors, patent-pending techniques, and an advanced 0.13-micron process, Internet Machines is able to deliver true wire-speed packet processing for any packet size at full-duplex OC-192c and 10 Gbps rates. Multiple different protocol types and services can be simultaneously supported on different subchannels.

High Capacity.The SE200 is the highest-capacity, single-chip switch element available today, delivering 200 Gbps now and scalable to terabit switching. Sixty-four embedded serializer-deserializer (SERDES) transceivers optimize performance and increase integration.

Comprehensive. The TMC10 traffic management co-processor is the most comprehensive, single chip full-duplex OC-192c traffic management co-processor available today. It uses Internet Machines' patented Parallel Channel Architecture, which provides for zero-loss fabric redundancy, and embedded serializer-deserializer (SERDES) transceivers deliver optimal performance and integration

Internet Machines' Development Workbench comprises an extensive suite of graphical, user-friendly software development tools, including a clock cycle-accurate simulator of the NPE10 network processor. This full-featured software development kit allows systems designers to quickly evaluate the NPE10, as well as develop forwarding code early in the development cycle, accelerating the introduction of new features in weeks rather than years.

By selecting IMpower chips, system designers will benefit from the years of experience Internet Machines' engineers have being system designers and ASIC developers. A simple programming model using familiar tools makes the completion of an OC-192c or 10 Gbps project in months rather than years a reality - with the added benefit of in-service upgrades and scalability to OC-768. Protocol independence means not having to guess about which way the world's networks are going. And a complete family of silicon and software gives developers a comprehensive network processing solution - today.
