AdvancedIO(R) Systems Announces Launch of V1021 10-Gigabit Ethernet XMC/PMC Module.Integrates new optical transceiver to maximize system density VANCOUVER, Canada -- AdvancedIO([R]) Systems, the leading provider of configurable 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity for real-time computing “Realtime” redirects here. For other uses, see Realtime (disambiguation). In computer science, real-time computing (RToC) is the study of hardware and software systems which are subject to a "real-time constraint"—i.e. systems, today announced the release of the V1021 configurable 10GbE connectivity and packet processing XMC/PMC module. Thanks to the integration of SFP SFP Small Form-factor Pluggable (optical transceiver module) SFP Société Française de Physique (French Physics Society; Paris) Sfp Svenska Folkpartiet (Finnish: Swedish People~s Party) +, the latest 10-gigabit optical transceiver technology, the V1021 provides high bandwidth data-pipe performance with flexible processing functionality in a single chassis slot. This optimization enables system developers in resource-demanding real-time applications such as radar, signals intelligence, and sensor processing to pack more functionality into a system while reducing its size and cost. AdvancedIO's V1021 is an open-standard form factor module that solves the problem of connecting real-time embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. to extreme high-speed Ethernet networks, a problem many liken lik·en tr.v. lik·ened, lik·en·ing, lik·ens To see, mention, or show as similar; compare. [Middle English liknen, from like, similar; see like2 to drinking from a fire hose. Like AdvancedIO's deployed V1020 product, the V1021 can also be used as a high-speed pipe to directly interconnect embedded processing systems. Key features of AdvancedIO's V1021 include: * Standard VITA 42.3 XMC/PMC mezzanine module that integrates onto standard off-the-shelf platforms for wide applicability * Standard PCI-X (PCI eXtended) An enhanced PCI bus technology originally developed by IBM, HP and Compaq that is backward compatible with existing PCI cards. PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots. and PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. [R] host interfaces for easy integration and high performance * SFP+ 10-Gigabit Ethernet optical transceiver technology which is being widely adopted throughout the networking industry * Customizable functionality via Xilinx[R] FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. for application optimization and in-field upgrades * Compatible optimized udpXG[TM] communications protocol Hardware and software standards that govern data transmission between computers. The term "protocol" is very generic and is used for hundreds of different communications methods. A protocol may define the packet structure of the data transmitted or the control commands that manage the for offloading and streamXG[TM] data streaming acceleration cores and software designed specifically for real-time applications * Standard sockets-based software API for easy integration and future software portability The V1021 offers an easy migration path. Because of its compatibility with AdvancedIO's V1020 software and functionality, existing V1020 customers who require higher-density systems can deploy the V1021 in its place without making any application source code changes. As well, both modules use the same fiber optic LC connectors. "The V1021 augments our PMC/XMC product line by offering the same high-performance functionality in only a single standard chassis slot," said Rob Kraft, VP, Marketing, for AdvancedIO Systems. "Our engineers recognize that system integrators are constantly battling to maximize functionality. By reducing the slot occupancy, we have enabled our customers to provide systems with more tightly coupled See tight coupling. processing capability and data-plane Ethernet connectivity than ever before." AdvancedIO Systems will continue to provide and support both the V1020 and V1021 XMC/PMC modules. Shipping & Availability: The AdvancedIO V1021 is available immediately.
