Telum NPA-38x4 is a cost-effective, intelligent, high-performance packet processor AdvancedMC (AMC) designed for secure access applications in Telecom environments. This AMC has a high-end state-of-the-art 12-core Cavium OCTEON CN38xx-SCP Secure Communications Processor and 512MB of high-speed DDR2 memory. To optimize application performance, the CN38xx-SCP supports dual-issue, five-state pipeline and optimized latencies as well as auto instruction pre-fetching and advanced pre-fetching features to minimize memory delays. High-speed communications are enabled by four lanes of Gigabit Ethernet (AMC.2 Type 4) to the Fat Pipes Region of the AdvancedMC connector. For control purposes, two lanes of GbE to AMC ports 0 and 1 in the Common Options Region are provided. Telum NPA-38x4 has a single width, full-size form factor.
