Embedded Systems Conference, Booth 409 -- Green Hills Software, Inc., the largest independent vendor of embedded software solutions, today announced operating system, middleware and multicore development tool support for NetLogic Microsystems' industry-leading XLP family of multicore, multi-threaded processors. Green Hills Software's comprehensive portfolio of optimized software solutions includes its multicore-ready INTEGRITY@ real-time operating system (http://ghs.com/products/rtos/integrity.html) (RTOS) and MULTI@ software development tool set (http://ghs.com/products/MULTI_IDE.html) for NetLogic Microsystems' XLP multicore, multi-threaded processors.

The tight coupling of Green Hills Software's embedded software solutions with NetLogic Microsystems' XLP instruction set extensions and software development kit (SDK) enables customers to accelerate time-to-market with a robust software environment that can take full advantage of the superior performance and functionality of the XLP processors.
