Core 2 Duo-based single board computer for multi-core DSP applications

GE Fanuc intelligent platforms, a unit of GE enterprise solutions announced the V7875 single board computer 6U VME solutions with increased processing performance, lower power consumption, extensive I/O capability and advanced graphics. VITA 41.3 (VXS) for Gigabit Ethernet across the backplane is also optionally available.

Featuring the Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 processor running at 2.53 GHz, the V7875 also provides up to 6 MBytes of L2 cache. This combination of high clock speed, large cache and fast front side bus, together with low heat dissipation can deliver good performance in multiprocessor DSP applications.

Some of the other key features are

1. Use of the Intel GM45 chip set provides fast access to up to 4 GBytes of DDR3 SDRAM
2. Offers an x16 PCI Express interface
3. The V7875 provide support for a PCI-X XMC/PMC site and a connector to the EXP237 mezzanine board to deliver an optional three additional XMC/PMC sites.
4. The board can optionally include the ATI Radeon E2400 graphics-processing unit - which features a x16 PCI Express interface and 1,920 x 1,080 (full HD) HDMI resolution - in place of one of the XMC/PMC sites.
5. Additional connectivity is provided by a dual SATA disk interface, two Gigabit Ethernet ports routed to the front panel, four USB 2.0 ports and two serial ports.
6. For applications not requiring the XMC/PMC site, even further I/O - one eSATA port, one USB 2.0 port and two Gigabit Ethernet ports (when VITA 41 is not available) - can be provided via the front panel.
