Layerscape^® 2085A and 2045A Multicore Communications Processors

The LS2 family of processors delivers unprecedented performance and integration for the smarter, more capable networks of tomorrow. The LS2045A and LS2085A multicore processors combine up to eight Arm^® Cortex^®- A57 cores with the advanced, high-performance datapath and network peripheral interfaces required for networking, telecom/datacom, wireless infrastructure, military and aerospace applications.

The next-generation datapath architecture combined with a powerful software toolkit provides a higher level of hardware abstraction and makes software development quick and simple.

This combination balances ease-of-use with high performance processing in a Linux® environment that is familiar to any software programmer. Customers can fully exploit the underlying hardware and easily adapt to network changes for real-time ‘soft’ control over the network.
