RMI Drives Increased Performance Across XLR and XLS Processor Families to Achieve up to 1.5 GHz for Enterprise and Infrastructure Applications Multi-threaded XLR732 Processor and Quad-Core Processor Families Enhance Baseband and Networking Capabilities with Added Processing Performance CUPERTINO, Calif.--(Business Wire)-At the RMI "Performance 2009" Conference,RMI Corporation, a leading provider of high-performance processors for communication and media rich applications, announced today a design and performance breakthrough across its volume production multi-core multi-threaded XLR and XLS Processor families. This breakthrough allows the processor families to achieve processing speeds up to 1.5 GHz for enterprise and infrastructure applications. The multithreaded octal-core XLR732 and quad-core XLS Processor families have added an additional 25 percent of performance capability enabling customers in the baseband, security and L4-L7 networking sectors additional value and capabilities previously unavailable - a 50% increase over its closest multi-core competitors. "I am very proud to announce this enhancement and performance increase across the XLR and XLS Processor families and look forward to bringing it to our extensive customer base," said Behrooz Abdi, president and chief executive officer, RMI. "Our engineering team at RMI is unmatched and the ability to design, execute and deliver gives us a distinct advantage in the market that will allow us to continue growing our market share across our targeted markets." The XLR732 is an 8-core, high-performance, highly integrated processor. The XLR732 processor consists of an innovative set of XLR Processor cores enabling up to 32 threads, or virtual CPUs (vCPUs), in a single chip. The XLR`s enhanced

MIPS64 compatible cores implement fine-grained, 4-way multithreading combined with a multi-level hierarchy of caches, autonomous accelerators, and point-to-point interconnects for data and message transfers. The interconnects` full-speed operation augment application scalability and closely integrate the high performance main memory controllers, level-2 caches, 12.5Gbps accelerated security operations, and accelerated networking interfaces to deliver a processing solution running at frequencies of 800MHz - 1.5 GHz optimized for maximum throughput and workload efficiency. "We continue to drive the capabilities that the market demands for multi-core processors and this performance increase is indicative of our success," said Nazar Zaidi, senior vice president of engineering, RMI. "By increasing the performance levels across the XLR and the XLS Processor families, we continue to open markets and drive capabilities that haven`t been available from our competitors." The XLS Processor is a feature-rich general purpose processor with application specific autonomous hardware accelerators and multiple on-chip interconnect options providing an ideal combination of high level programmability, performance scalability, and intelligent packet management. RMI`s XLS Processor enables integrated control plane, data plane, and security processing in a single System-on-a-Chip (SuperSoC) solution. The XLS Processor Family is optimized for applications such as Wireless Base Stations, where PCB real estate and power are a premium, while requiring integrated network connectivity, security, and compression acceleration options. Such features will benefit emerging wireless standards that emphasize high data rate and low latency applications such as Mobile VoIP and Video conferencing. Pricing and Availability The XLR732 and the XLS416/616 Processors will sample in Q3 2009 with full-production expected in Q4 2009. Pricing is available upon request.

High Performance Packet Processing The Bivio 6500 Custom Programmable Network Appliance Platform delivers an  advanced packet processing architecture in a cost­effective, modular chassis  suitable for a wide range of high­performance content­aware networking solutions.  Central to the Bivio 6500 design is the RMI XLR ™ Processor that implements 4­way  multithreading on up to eight MIPS64 ® ­compatible cores for a total of 32 threads or  virtual CPUs in a single platform. With multiple threads, the XLR processor can  efficiently manage tasks by processing additional data on available threads when  a thread is occupied. This technology significantly reduces internal cache and  memory latencies to dramatically improve overall system throughput. In addition,  for more compute­intensive applications, a single core can be programmed to  dedicate all processing resources to a single, focused task. A true programmable solution, the Bivio 6500 and XLR processor do not require microcoding  or proprietary programming models. The XLR Linux Software Developer Kit (SDK) supports  standard C/C++ code development using Linux 2.6 with standard tool chains and debugger  enhancements. The SDK provides documentation, source code and application examples  for chip diagnostics, performance monitoring tools, and device drivers for advanced XLR  features including the XLR Fast Messaging Network and Security Acceleration Engine. The  SDK allows system programmers to quickly take advantage of the XLR architecture’s auto­ nomous acceleration engines to relieve the processing cores from packet data transfers,  cryptography functions, authentication operations, TCP/IP CRC calculations and network  interface data management. The Bivio 6500 Network Appliance Platforms can support a wide range of content­aware

Network Interface Modules (NIMs) simplify the connection of the Bivio  6500 Network Appliance Platform to a variety of industry standard  network interfaces. The platform includes two NIM slots that may be  populated with any combination of the available NIM boards. This allows  equipment integrators to select the appropriate type and number of  interfaces required for each installation without impacting the appliance  system architecture. Specific Bivio 6500 NIMs are designed with configu­ rable bypass circuits so that in the event of a power failure or other system  fault, the bypass ports will fail “open”, allowing network traffic to pass  uninterrupted through the NIM. The failopen occurs between paired ports  on the same NIM. This feature allows the network appliance to be placed  directly in­line in the network topology without adding additional switches  or routers and is especially useful in a transparent mode deployment.
