Dual-Core Performance on COM Express
With the arrival of dual-core Intel® processors embedded systems designers now have the necessary computing horsepower available at attractive price points to address performance hungry applications, such as imaging, gaming and test & measurement systems. RadiSys unleashes the true potential of multi-core computing with the Procelerant CE945GM that combines the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processors with dual channel memory.
The newest member of the Promentum® ATCA Media Resource Module family is now available with optimized DSPs and Telogy Software™ from Texas Instruments. The RadiSys Promentum ATCA-9100 is a media processing blade with a modular design that hosts up to 20 multi-core, low power TMS320TNETV3020 DSPs (TI). Each DSP is capable of delivering over 200 channels of AMR, enabling the ATCA blade to support over 4,000 channels – the highest in the industry. It is optimized to work with the RadiSys Promentum ATCA SYS-6010, an award-winning 10-Gigabit ATCA platform. The module includes Serial Rapid IO (SRIO) switching and support for easy debugging of DSP code, helping to avoid costly project delays.
The ATCA-9100 provides a complete solution, including onboard switching software, blade management software, and other APIs. The Promentum products are ideal for use in a multitude of applications including radio network controllers, IPTV media routers, security gateways, video servers and IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) application servers. The Prometum ATCA-9100 offers telecommunications equipment manufacturers (TEMs) a way to achieve a low cost per port approach for next- and future generation voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), media processing, video servers and media gateway solutions.
Because the Promentum ATCA products from RadiSys offer the highest density capability on the market, they reduce the hardware footprint in the central office by more than 50 percent. The ATCA-9100 incorporates two mezzanine cards containing DSP farms. This approach can enable smooth transitions between product generations, increase return on investment, and ensure the ability to handle future requirements, which could lead to significant competitive advantages for TEMs.
