Linux PCI platform put to testing tasks
CyberMetrix is to use Concurrent Computer's iHawk PCI platforms running the RedHawk Linux real-time operating system for its next generation of high-performance CyFlex test and measurement systems.
Platform to gain real-time modelling support
Opal-RT is to develop a new Linux version of its widely acclaimed RT-Lab software for Concurrent's iHawk Series 860 family of systems.
The iHawk turnkey solution includes Concurrent data acquisition and control software and pressure management application software developed by Concurrent Nippon Corporation, Concurrent's Japanese subsidiary.
The dual-processor iHawk contains 256 analogue-to-digital data acquisition channels linked to micro-differential pressure sensors and amplifiers for simultaneous sampling of wind data.
Concurrent iHawk systems are powered by one to eight Intel Xeon processors, up to 32Gbyte of memory, and PCI I/O in rack-mount and tower enclosures.
iHawks are true symmetric multiprocessors that run a single copy of Concurrent's RedHawk Linux real-time operating system.
RedHawk Linux provides fast response to external events, optimised interprocess communication, and high I/O throughput needed for time-critical applications.
RedHawk Linux, compatible with the popular Red Hat distribution, has gained acceptance as a leading real-time Linux operating system for high-performance, simulation, data acquisition and industrial control applications throughout the world.
According to Warren Neuburger, Concurrent ISD President: "We are very pleased that our iHawk was selected by Daewoo for their latest wind tunnel data acquisition application".
Neuburger added: "Daewoo is one of many Concurrent customers that have seamlessly migrated from our previous-generation proprietary platforms to our new COTS-based iHawk".
"For years we have relied on Concurrent systems for wind tunnel testing to improve our engineering designs", said Han-Young Kim of Daewoo E and C.
"We choose Concurrent because they offer a total solution including sensor amplifiers and pressure measurement software".
"Concurrent's next-generation iHawk will allow us to quickly take advantage of advanced technology without re-engineering".
