  3. Tensilica DPUs Deliver Higher PerformancePerformance + Programmability at Lower Power / Lower Cost Dataplane Processor Unit DPU • 10-100x better performance than DSP/CPUs • Better control and tools than DSPs • More flexible than custom logic Custom Strengths DSP Strengths CPU Strengths CPU Custom Logic DSP 10-100x better performance than DSP/CPUs Strengths Control-oriented, Software Development Strengths Task-specific, Differentiating,Direct point-to-point interfaces. Strengths SIMD, VLIW, Stream processing

  4. Programmability in the DataplaneWhat is the Dataplane? • Dataplane“Compute & Throughput” • Control plus DSP • High Performance • High Throughput • Low Power • “DPU” - Dataplane Processor Unit Control Plane “Control code & Operating Systems” intel ARM Multi-standard support, rapid evolution & shorter time-to-market drive increasing need for programmability in the Dataplane
