 Computex 2017, you're showing some latest Oction TX solutions, right? Yes, so from Cavium at Computex here we are showing with our ARM 64-bit based Oction TX multi-core processor family. We are showing a variety of different applications for networking, IoT and control playing applications. So compared to the Thunder X2, Thunder X2 is more like servers and Oction is more like microservers and also base bands and where does it go? So Cavium has a scalable product line. Our Thunder X and Thunder X2 product lines are targeting mainstream servers and you know basically Thunder X for example has 48 CPU cores and it has dual socket coherent support for mainstream servers. Using the IP we have also designed multi-core SOCs you know based on the same 64-bit ARM core, same DDL4 interface, PCIe etc and we have designed a family of multi-core processors from anywhere from 40, 24 core all the way down to like you know 16, 12, 8, 4, 2 cores. For different use case, you know with different performance, power, consumption and price points. It's using your proprietary architecture. It is using standard ARM architecture but our optimized implementation of CPU core so we can get more performance at a smaller area and smaller power. Your core design. Yeah our core design. So it's not using ARM Cortex A53? That's correct. What is it? How do you define it? So well basically we licensed instruction set architecture so we have you know the ARM instruction set document, we have a test of compatibility validation suite so we make sure that our cores are designed to be compatible and in the same time it is much more optimized especially for a lot of the networking applications where you want very high performance at very low power and we have a very scalable product line you know from anywhere from two cores very very low power to 24 cores in a still very small package as you can see. How many cores is this one? This one has 24 cores. 24 cores. Is the design of your core on the Octane in the family related with the Thunder X designs? Yeah I mean they share a lot of the same IPs especially from a CPU core perspective. All right so what are we looking at here this demo? So what is this board right here? Yeah this first demo is running DPDK IPsec application so you can see you know 40 gig performance on our 24 core part running standard DPDK which is from open source dpdk.org and an IPsec application. DPDK is it means what is it for? DPDK stands for data plane developers kit it's an open source project where you know multiple vendors from the industry work together under Linux foundation for optimized data plane API kit for data plane applications. And this is the board you're holding right here it's right in there what is it doing? Yeah this board in particular is a card which can be plugged into a standard data center switch you know for example this chassis here represents a white box data center switch could be a top of rack switch could be a spine switch in this case basically it has really two major pieces of silicon inside. One is the switch itself which is also based on Calvium X-Pliant SDN programmable switch this one has 3.2 terabit of switching capacity it's programmable pipeline. Is it like an FPGA or how does it work? Well it is not FPGA it is custom designed silicon so you can get to the very high performance 3.2 terabit switching with a lot of programmability in the same time you know it is single chip. And the other piece of major silicon in this board is the control processor which is the same Optima TX family this one has is a smaller one this smaller one you know as I said this one 24 this one could be this one has up to four cores and so you can see the package is much smaller and much lower power much lower cost so basically we have a scalable product family. Are you showing on the screen something of what's going on? Yeah so the screen here is is yet another demo where we are running on our processor you know server processor Thunderix is 48 core ARM based running standard Venex KVM and also a commercial VNF from Trend Micro it's a security application it is an NFV demo and and this is OpenWRT so basically this is kind of a home route application OpenWRT is open source we're doing SSL based VPN in this demo. This one is running on this board over here yes and that is the Optima TX family so you know it has the 64 bit core that we designed it has also high integration of a DDL4 interface 10 gig ports interface and DDL4. What's going on over here? So here the same Octima TX product we also have implemented IoT gateway so in this demo here we have an IoT gateway where the camera is collecting information and through analysis of the video you this application can zoom into a yellow kind of background and objects so it is doing collecting of the data from the camera or some other IoT devices it's doing local analysis and figuring out the spot with the yellow it can be connected you know back to the networking infrastructure. So the Octima TX solution has been shipping for a while? Yes so the Octima TX solution is in production it has been shipping and as you see you know it's going into a lot of different networking IoT wired and wireless applications. But is it new or has this been already mass production deployed a lot? It's been in production you know we have multiple families so you know some families are in production recently some are in about one year ago. All right so this is ultimate 64 bit for what's called the cloud kind of like the cloud? Yeah absolutely right so the cloud has more than just servers and you know data center type equipment there are other kinds of equipment I think the IoT is an interesting example where you can do local analysis you can connect to local data collecting agents so you know you basically need more intelligent edge and that's where Cavium has a very scalable product line. Something like this right the baseband kind of devices? Yeah so this is a this is a base station so absolutely our Octima TX product also has been designed into base stations. All right so and switches? Yeah as a control processor for these kinds of market. Yeah for here you actually see a lot other ODM designs and applications you know from our partners so for example there's a VPN gateway and it's similar to the SSL VPN running there but this is you know a complete gateway product and it's a VPN router so many different ODM products you know for networking and security applications and this one is an industry rugged design as well for IoT and VPN router. And down here you're seeing a board? Yeah we have a couple of reference designs you know for like this one is for example a IoT gateway. And video bridge so there's Octium TX right there? Yeah so basically all these Octium families you know so they are in many different applications. And are they built into these? No this is a different product family so we are showcasing two different product families here the Octium family and then the Octium Fusion M family which is the Octium Fusion M family is a more targeting wireless applications. Yeah it's got a mix of MIPS and ARM so that's what Cavium has we have been shipping SOC products with both MIPS architecture and ARM architecture.
