VPX based Quad Core Signal Processing Module

Product ID NM-TRF-7001
Product Name VPX based Quad Core Signal Processing Module
Product Description Versatile Per formance Switching(VPX) based Quad Core Signal Processing Module (NM-TRF-7001) is the latest VPX™ compliant 3U processor that combines the high performance and the advanced I/O capabilities of Freescale’s Power Architecture Quad-core AltiVec™ enabled T2080 processor with an extensive I/O complement to provide the best performance for a Quad Core processor at low power. Designed for space constrained applications, the NM-TRF-7001 represents rugged high-performance, highly integrated small form factor SBCs.In conjunction with its processing power, the NM-TRF-7001 easily meets challenge by offering an impressive variant of I/O capability in order to satisfy the most demanding application needs. The VPX module format, governed by the VITA46 specifications and the associated VITA48 Ruggedized Enhanced Design Implementation (REDI) was established to address the fundamental requirement to provide open-architecture modules that incorporate the high-speed serial interconnect technology that is becoming pervasive in high performance computing. The VPX standard was developed by the leading providers of military commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) modules to address the major issue of high-speed serial interconnect. The VPX module format provides many benefits to integrators of high performance multi-processor systems for radar, mission computers, and other applications.
