1. Niels Anderskouv Brian Glinsman November 2010 Thanks for joining us today.   We have several exciting additions to our multicore product line to share.   We believe that these products will, for the first time enable multicore developers to have it all.

2. In the spring we introduced KeyStone, our new multicore architecture.   KeyStone is a breakthrough architecture combining hardware based acceleration and world class programmability to create families of multicore DSPs and SoCs.    KeyStone is different from other multicore architectures because it has the capacity to provide full processing capability to every core in a multicore device. We call this full entitlement.

3. 3 When we announced KeyStone we told you that KeyStone based devices would be available in the fall. We’re here today to tell you about these devices, some of which are already in the hands of our lead customers..   First I’d like to introduce the C66x, our innovative new DSP core.   The C66x is powering a new series of multicore DSPs   and it’s also at the heart of the first base station System on Chip with 4G LTE class performance.

4. 4 I’d like to share with you the thoughts and design philosophies that are behind these products.   Engineering design is about making tough choices. For example, high performance requirements are often only met by the most expensive and power hungry devices.   So, designers are forced to choose between optimizing the design for performance, for value or for power.   TI’s design team for multicore products challenged itself to eliminate the “ors”.  I’d like to share with you the thoughts and design philosophies that are behind these products.   Engineering design is about making tough choices.

5. 5 … Change performance OR value to performance AND value. Precisions AND simplicity. Lower power AND high capacity. Real time performance AND programmable differentiation. In short, our goal was to take the OR out of multicore.   … Change performance OR value to performance AND value. Precisions AND simplicity. Lower power AND high capacity. Real time performance AND programmable differentiation. In short, our goal was to take the OR out of multicore.  

6. Performance and value Introducing C66x Key to achieving breakthrough performance and value is our new C66x core. Take a look at these performance numbers. 40 GMACs per core, 20 GLFOPs per core. And, all the cores operate at up to 1.25 GHz.   This new core is simply more powerful than anything else that’s available in the market. Designers accomplish much more with a C66x core than with 2, 4 or even more cores of competing products. And obviously it’s easier to program with fewer cores.   Even with the power of the new C66x core, today’s applications require multicore capability. We are now offering multicore DSPs that perform over than 5 times better any other announced device.   And, these new C66x based devices are software compatible with all of the C6000 devices that preceded them.

7. Fixed and Floating Point math in every core Floating point at fixed point speeds The only fixed and floating point DSP core Precision and simplicity 7 Today’s signal processing applications require more precision than anything that has gone before.   Algorithms supporting these applications are normally developed using floating point math.   While floating point algorithms provide the necessary precision, without programmer intensive conversion they are incompatible with the fixed point DSPs that are common in high performance applications.   TI has addressed this problem by incorporating fixed and floating point capabilities in the new C66x DSP core.   This means that every core in our new multicore devices execute both fixed and floating point instructions on an instruction by instruction basis. Here is the really exciting news. Floating point capability is now available at fixed point speeds.

8. Low power and high capacity Build cool with TI Green Power C6678 ~ 10W @ 10 GHz, 55C Dynamic power monitoring SmartReflexTM Power/MHz/GMAC/GFLOP Leading, any way you measure 8 TI has a long history of leadership and innovation creating low power devices. Our new multicore devices build on this legacy. The C6678 for example dissipates approximately 10 watts while delivering 10GHz of performance.   And, our dynamic power monitoring and Smart Reflex technologies go far beyond simple sleep modes.   Any way you look at it – power per MHz, power per GMAC or power per GLFOP – TI is leading the way.

12. Solving the wirelessoperator’s challenge 12 Now I’d like to shift gears and talk about TI’s latest System on Chip for base station designs.   This SoC also uses the new KeyStone architecture and DSP core and it’s specifically designed to address the major issue that operators face today.

13. 13 And that is coping with the data deluge generated by the introduction of smart phones and the fact that users with these phones are generating up to 50 times as much data as a traditional phone. Operators need to manage this deluge by optimizing their most precious resource – the wireless spectrum.

14. Formula for driving cost per bit lower Unmatched throughput Comprehensive scheduling Advanced antenna processing 4G LTE Spectral Efficiency The way to drive the cost per bit lower is by improving spectral efficiency. The formula for achieving great spectral efficiency is simple: Provide exceptional throughput plus comprehensive scheduling and advanced antenna processing and you will achieve unmatched 4G LTE spectral efficiency.The way to drive the cost per bit lower is by improving spectral efficiency.

15. 15 To cope with the data deluge and achieve the desired spectral efficiency, wireless base station designers need a beast of a chip that’s designed from its inception as a wireless data engine. TI’s C6616 is that beast.   The 6616 is the fist base station SoC with 4G class performance.   It is a 4 core device based on the C66x discussed earlier and the KeyStone architecture. It also has two additional technologies, the layer 1 PHY and packet coprocessors that are critical to creating a high performance System on Chip. In fact, these coprocessors alone provide the amazing equivalent of 250 GHz of configurable processing power.To cope with the data deluge and achieve the desired spectral efficiency, wireless base station designers need a beast of a chip that’s designed from its inception as a wireless data engine.

16. World class layer 1 PHY Shipping nearly 10 million per year Used by 200 operators Software Defined Radio Multi-standard operation Eliminates FPGA or ASIC 16 The PHY is, of course, the basis for great wireless connectivity. And without great wireless connectivity, calls drop, video stalls and APPs fail.   The layer 1 PHY technology in the 6616 is based on TI’s 10+ year history of delivering world class PHYs.   The PHY itself consists of configurable hardware coprocessors and libraries that enable the coprocessors for all of the popular wireless standards. The 6616’s multi-standard operation allows wireless operators to easily migrate from 3G WCDMA to 4G LTE networks.   And from a board design perspective it eliminates the need for FPGAs or ASICs.   The PHY is, of course, the basis for great wireless connectivity.

17. Autonomous packet processing Layer 2 and transport Automatically processed by configurable accelerators Reduce cost and complexity Replaces the external network processor 17 The 6616 contains everything needed for autonomous packet processing. Packet processing is applied to the radio network Layer 2 and the core network Transport in a wireless base station. Autonomous operations include header processing, routing, security processing for both the core and radio network, and packet segmentation and reassembly.   The packet processing engine of the 6616 is so powerful it’s able to replace the external network processor that is commonly used in today’s base station designs.The 6616 contains everything needed for autonomous packet processing.
