The CN3800 series was Cavium's flagship series with processors with up [[16 cores]]. These processors offer up to 16 [[GiB]] of 128-bit DDR2-800 ECC memory. Additionally these chips integrate multiple standard external networking interfaces with 4 to 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports ([[RGMII]]) or dual SPI-4.2 interfaces along with a host/slave PCI-X 64-bit 133 MHz interface that can be used as both a data and control interface.

OCTEON was a family of 64-bit multi-core MIPS microprocessors designed by Cavium and introduced in mid-2005. These processors are primarily marketed towards makers of network infrastructure (commercial, enterprise, and data center switches, routers, etc..). Cavium offers OCTEON processors with anywhere from one to sixteen cores.

Overview[edit]

The original OCTEON family of network-oriented microprocessors were announced in September of 2004. These chips are based on Cavium's newly announced microarchitecture, cnMIPS, announced the same day. The cnMIPS design is a fully compliant MIPS64 revision 2 implementation. OCTEON chips are found in many enterprise an data center network servers, routers, and switches as well as various high-end residential routers.

Architecture[edit]

Main article: cnMIPS µarch

The cnMIPS microarchitecture is a fully-custom design implementing the MIPS64 revision 2 ISA on TSMC's 130 nm process. Due to the specific nature of the applicatons running, an FPU was omitted. Instead, Cavium opted to incorporate a wide array of hardware accelerators for network applications (L3 to L7) including support for compression/decompression algorithms (e.g.GZIP), and security/crypto algorithms (e.g. DES, AES, MD5, and SHA1).

Members[edit]

CN3000 Series[edit]

The CN3000 series is entry-level processors containing just one cnMIPS core. Depending on the option, these processors either have an array of security-related hardware accelerators (e.g. AES, TRNG) or various communication accelerators (e.g. hardware packet I/O processing). Additionally, all models have 1-3 RGMII interfaces, Conventional PCI interface, and USB 2.0. The 3010 models also have an TDM/PCM interface for direct VoIP communication.

CN3800 Series[edit]

The CN3800 series was Cavium's flagship series with processors with up 16 cores. These processors offer up to 16 GiB of 128-bit DDR2-800 ECC memory. Additionally these chips integrate multiple standard external networking interfaces with 4 to 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports (RGMII) or dual SPI-4.2 interfaces along with a host/slave PCI-X 64-bit 133 MHz interface that can be used as both a data and control interface.
