Concurrent Computer Corporation Receives Next Generation Series 3200-2000 Systems Order Worth $1.2 Million.Business Editors/Technology Writers ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 2003 The 3200-2000 provides a plug-and-play upgrade for Air Force C-130 Aircrew Training Concurrent Computer Corporation Please help [ rewrite this article] from a neutral point of view. Mark blatant advertising for , using . (Nasdaq:CCUR CCUR Center for Crops Utilization Research ), Real-Time Division, today announced that Lockheed Martin For the former company, see . Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) is a leading multinational aerospace manufacturer and advanced technology company formed in 1995 by the merger of Lockheed Corporation with Martin Marietta. , Orlando, Fla., ordered Concurrent's Model 3200-2000 next generation processor boards for use in the U.S. Air Force's C-130 Aircrew Training System. The 3200-2000 processors will be installed in C-130 trainers at Little Rock AFB AFB abbr. acid-fast bacillus AFB Acid-fast bacillus, also 1. Aflatoxin B 2. Aorto-femoral bypass , Arkansas and other Air Force training facilities. Lockheed Martin's Aircrew Training System combines academics, simulation and prescribed flight maneuvers in a ground-based training curriculum that takes students from initial qualification through continuation training. The amount of the award was $1.2 million. The processors were shipped and included as part of Concurrent's 2003 FY Q2 revenue. The 3200-2000 processors upgraded older model Concurrent Series 3200 MicroFive MPS systems, providing an increase in processing power and I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output features. Ten boards in the existing trainer are replaced by a single 3200-2000 board, resulting in the reduction in power, cooling and maintenance costs. The upgraded system will now support 100BaseT Ethernet and PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). I/O. Lockheed Martin and the Air Force chose a 3200-2000 upgrade over a total replacement approach. The 3200-2000 processor boards are software compatible with the existing trainer thus protecting the Air Force's investment in proven application software. With a currently installed base of over two thousand Series 3200 legacy systems around the world, the market potential for 3200-2000 upgrades is significant for Concurrent. The 3200-2000 provides improved computational speed, microsecond One millionth of a second. See space/time and ohnosecond. (unit) microsecond - One millionth (10^-6) of a second. interrupt handling, high system I/O throughput, and extensive system connectivity. The 3200-2000 delivers the response needed in today's time-critical, high-availability application environments and is a cost-effective investment for Concurrent customers. Customers of the 3200-2000 include many providers of mission-critical services including Germany's DFS (Distributed File System) An enhancement to Windows NT/2000 and 95/98 that allows files scattered across multiple servers to be treated as a single group. With Dfs, a network administrator can build a hierarchical file system that spans the organization's LANs and GmbH, a government-owned company that controls all of Germany's air traffic; FlightSafety International FlightSafety International is the a provider of professional aviation training, simulation equipment and software.

This next generation 3200-2000 offers up to six times the application computational performance of a Series 3200 Model 3280 processor. In addition, all system memory, floating point and DMA (1) (Digital Media Adapter) See digital media hub. (2) (Document Management Alliance) A specification that provides a common interface for accessing and searching document databases. bus interfaces are provided directly on the 3200-2000 processor module, reducing maintenance costs by offering key Series 3200 functionality on a single 17" board. The single-board engine features an industry-standard Motorola PowerPC(TM) processor with Flash-stored software and includes 233, 350 or 450 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second.
