6U OpenVPX embedded computing board with Freescale QorlQ processors introduced by X-ES

摘要

Extreme Engineering Solutions Inc. (X-ES) in Middleton, Wis., is introducing the XCaliburl840 6U OpenVPX embedded computing board with the Freescale QorIQ T4240 or T4160 communications processor for platforms with stringent size weight and power (SWaP) restrictions. Freescale's Power Architecture e6500-based T4240 and T4160 processors combine several 1.8 GHz dual-threaded cores, large caches, and high-performance networking capabilities with the next-generation AltiVec single-instruction several-data (SIMD) engine to provide high-performance processing for control and data plane tasks from one system on a chip (SoC). Freescale's next-generation AltiVec processor delivers DSP-level floatingpoint performance with 172 billion floating-point operations per second of vector processing capability, while maintaining compatibility with AltiVec software libraries.
