Huawei Joins the Multicore Association as an Executive Board Member

EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., -- The Multicore Association(TM), a global non-profit organization focused on developing standards that help speed time to market for products that involve multicore processor implementations, today announced that Huawei is the newest member of its executive board.

"As a leader in the network telecoms market, Huawei makes a notable addition to our membership, with products and solutions deployed in over 100 countries," said Markus Levy, Multicore Association president. "Huawei's knowledge of multicore technology and experience in this industry will help influence the hardware and software vendors to define and adopt standards that will help to promote better development environments for multicore solutions."

Multicore represents a significant trend in processor technology and is being adopted by the majority of system developers seeking higher performance capabilities and lower power consumption. The Multicore Association is working to enable the widespread adoption of multicore processor implementations by setting standards and guidelines for how systems will be utilized and programmed.

Huawei has already started to adopt multicore technology in many of our next-generation products," said Edmoon Cai, Director of Huawei's Processor CTMG of Huawei. "As a member of the Multicore Association, we look forward to helping define new common interfaces that will benefit the telecoms market and the embedded market in general."

The Multicore Association provides three levels of membership, with executive board, working group, and university members. The executive board helps determine the overall direction of the organization. Working group members are eligible to work on any of the working groups. University members may participate in any of the Multicore Association's ongoing development work, for which current projects include multicore virtual machine interface standardization, multicore resource management and communication APIs, and multicore programming practices.
