Software spreads signal processing tasks
IPC software stack manages demanding signal processing applications such as radar and signal intelligence where the workload exceeds the processing capability of a single CPU.
Hybrid processors combine PowerPCs with FPGAs
6U boards provide high-performance digital signal processing capabilities for a wide range of demanding intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance applications.
The V1020 is a 10GbE packet processing engine that functions as a high-speed open-standards-based data pipe.
The module improves system performance by offloading communication protocol stacks from embedded processors while presenting a standard sockets-based software interface to the developer.
It also facilitates direct streaming of data between 10GbE and other input/output devices, such as analogue-to-digital convertors.
The V1020 is based on reprogrammable field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology to allow the aggregation of other functions such as packet inspection, load balancing, and signal processing.
In addition, the ability to reprogram the module provides the benefits of customisation and risk reduction at the system integration phase.
The module is currently shipping and supports PCI-X and PCI Express (PCIe).
"We feel that Europe represents a fruitful market for our embedded 10GbE offload and data streaming hardware, algorithms and software, and have been seeking an effective way to promote our products there", says Rob Kraft, VP Marketing at AdvancedIO.
"Vmetro and Vsystems have a very established presence in Europe with great complementary products and services - based on our previous collaboration we believe this will translate into great experiences for our customers".
The agreement expands on an informal relationship between Vmetro and AdvancedIO which has developed through successful collaboration on several customer projects during the past year.
These projects have involved 10GbE implementations for data recording applications, avionics test systems, and radar signal processing - all for major defence market contractors.
"AdvancedIO anticipated the demand in the embedded market for the performance and compatibility of 10GbE data pipes and processing", said Stein-Erik Maurice, Group Marketing Director at Vmetro.
"We saw a great opportunity to bring 10GbE to the embedded market in Europe through our sales and support channel".
"The AdvancedIO products, such as the V1020, are an excellent addition to our product line, especially when combined with our portfolio of targeted solutions and services". Request free introductory details about products from Vmetro ...
