SAN JOSE, California and NETANYA, Israel, April 26, 2010 - Plurality Ltd. announced today at the Embedded Systems Conference in San
Jose, California
, the world's first scalable 256 multicore processor for
wireless infrastructure, the HyperCore(TM) family of low power, small
footprint, ManyCore processor IP for wireless markets. HyperCore represents a
new category of acceleration co-processor based on a revolutionary
architecture that simplifies code compilation and a unique hardware based
synchronizer-scheduler, which delivers performance that scales linearly with
the number of cores. In addition, its efficiency offers power consumption
that rivals hard-wired ASICs.

Plurality offers its HyperCore(TM) acceleration processor IP to
system-on-chip (SoC) developers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
as a general purposes accelerator for wireless, networking and
high-performance (Cloud) computing applications. The HyperCore processor IP
acts as a performance extension to the industry's most popular processor
architectures (x86, PowerPC, MIPS and ARM), enabling improved SoC performance
without greater power consumption or die area.

"The market's most powerful multi-core shared-memory processing engine
for wireless infrastructure"

The combination of optimized high-performance multicores provides
designers with the ability to make the best possible tradeoffs between size,
power, and programmability to meet the challenging needs of next generation
multiband, multimode radios. The solution is reconfigurable and provides a
platform for applications ranging from 4G macro base-stations to
cost-optimized femtocells, thus offering the benefits of single scalable
hardware platform design and extensive software code reuse. With a
HyperCore-based design, a base-station OEM can achieve a unified platform
strategy both vertically across wireless standards such as LTE, HSPA, or 3G,
as well as horizontally across wireless devices ranging from macro
base-stations to femtocells. In addition, Plurality's development environment
and task-oriented programming model, together with a growing ecosystem of
system and software partners, enables rapid product development.

"The wireless world is transitioning toward fourth-generation systems
such as LTE, which requires high processing requirements as well as
flexibility and upgradeability due to rapidly changing standards and evolving
consumer needs," stated Igor Pe'er, CEO of Plurality. "Our fully programmable
HyperCore processor technology speeds time-to-market and enables our
customers to build high quality solutions for the LTE release 8 standard with
a clear, low-cost, upgrade path for releases 9 and 10."

Embedded Systems Conference / Multicore Expo 2010 - Chip Ex Israel 2010

Plurality will be exhibiting at the Embedded Systems Conference /
Multicore Expo at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center April 26 - 29, booth
#2413, as well as at ChipEx Israel 2010 in Airport City on May 4th. Attendees
will be able to view the HyperCore demonstration.
