Inclusion of CodeWright® 7.5, The Programmer's Editing System Designed to Enhance Application Development Tools for Network Processors
BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, September 9, 2003 - Xelerated, a leading supplier of high-performance network processors, today announced an agreement with Borland Software Corporation to include the Borland® CodeWright® Programmer's Editing System within the XeleratorTM Software Development Kit.
Xelerated's latest Software Development Kit includes an enhanced integrated development environment (IDE) based on the CodeWright 7.5, The Programmer's Editing System from Borland. The tool kit provides a powerful and straightforward programming environment for the XeleratorTM X10q family of network processors released earlier this year.
"Using Borland CodeWright as a base for our IDE gives the programmer a mature and powerful editing and debugging environment. It has helped us to quickly increase the functionality of our current development environment while providing a roadmap for multi-platform support," says Gary Lidington, VP Marketing at Xelerated.
"Borland CodeWright is designed to enhance editing capabilities in solutions such as the XeleratorTM Software Development Kit. We're dedicated to providing solutions that help programmers save money, shorten development cycles, and improve product quality," says Scott Bartell, director of the CodeWright product group at Borland.
CodeWright 7.5, The Programmer's Editing System extends the Xelerated IDE with features for developing applications for the X10q Network Processors. The Xelerated IDE is project oriented and provides a tight integration of the tools for programming, editing, compiling, simulating, debugging and testing application code. It supports the stages of development from the early stage of defining the applications to the final stage of delivering a production ready application.
"This partnership is a triple win," says John G. Metz, principal analyst at Metz International in Harvard Massachusetts. "The addition of a proven programmer editing system to Xelerated's IDE allows each company to focus on what they do best, and provides immediate value to development groups within any tier of system OEM."
PRODUCT INFORMATION
XeleratorTM Software Development Kit and X10q Network Processors
The XeleratorTM Software Development Kit presents the developer with a straightforward, single-threaded programming interface to the X10q Network Processors (NPUs), with benefits of significantly shortening product development time. System designers use the software tools to evaluate the XeleratorTM X10q NPUs, and develop their own network processor applications. The tools come with verified, ready to use application code for MPLS, IPv4 and IPv6.
The XeleratorTM X10q family of Network Processors (NPUs) features three devices; each of them delivering the most processing power per watt of any NPU on the market. The three members of the X10q family target a wide range of applications in networking equipment. The X10q-e is optimized for enterprise Ethernet and OC48 solutions, the X10q-m for advanced metro Ethernet applications, and the X10q-w for the high-end Sonet/SDH products.
