RadiSys has launched at Embedded World two new PICMG-compatible COM Express modules and a quad core embedded server for high-performance applications.

RadiSys has launched at Embedded World two new PICMG-compatible COM Express modules and a quad core embedded server for high-performance applications The RadiSys CE945GM is a COM Express module built around the Intel Core2 Duo L7400 processor

Coupled with dual-channel memory it brings high computing performance to imaging, gaming, and test and measurement devices that need the smallest COM Express form factor available.

With a 1.5GHz clock speed and a 667MHz front-side bus, the L7400 17W processor enables Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions to be implemented in a single clock cycle as opposed to two clock cycles in previous Intel Pentium M processors.

Its dual-channel memory helps to deliver performance up to 67 % better than existing single-channel-memory COM Express solutions.

With its compact 95 x 110mm size, it is suitable for space-constrained applications that are memory or computational intensive.

The second COM Express module, the RadiSys CE738-E, has an extended temperature and can be used in applications such as in-flight infotainment, as well as in industrial and military products that need top operate in conditions outside the standard 0 to 55C temperature range.

The RadiSys CE738-E combines the Intel Pentium M processor Low Voltage 738 at 1.4GHz on a PICMG-compatible COM Express module and operates between -25 and 70C.

The module's fanless design allows it to be used in ruggedised applications and serves to extend the life of these applications by reducing overheating problems.

TheRMS420-5000XI quad core server with Intel Core microarchitecture increases the performance of imaging and signaling applications five to seven fold compared with servers available just 12 months ago.

Thought to be the first quad-core processor in an embedded system, the RMS420-5000XI offers rigorous engineering change control ensuring product consistency and reduced costs for customers.

"RadiSys continues to introduce industry-leading solutions that help system designers reduce time to market and raise the bar on performance and size", says Wade Clowes, Vice President of the Commercial Market for RadiSys.

"With the only basic size module with dual-channel memory as well as broadest operating temperature range available, and the most advanced embedded servers, designers continue to turn to RadiSys for products that address their needs today as well as provide a platform for the future".

Because they are modular and standards based, RadiSys COM Express products help equipment manufacturers shorten their time to market and reduce development costs.

By removing the processor, chipset and memory from the rest of the design, manufacturers can focus engineering resources on developing differentiating features and avoid the design churn that comes with implementing new processor generations.
