As the PowerPC™ experts, we COBRA is dedicated to the control of interrupts and other real- time functions. The interrupt controller features an OpenPIC continue to track the evolution of PowerPC technology, compliant device including multiprocessor support. and we provide a high-performance Computing Node based on the latest PowerPC G4+ technology, breaking the 1 GHz barrier. Leading Edge Architecture With its AltiVec vector processing unit, the PowerPC 7457 Memory: The PowerNode3 features a unique memory (G4+) is ideally suited for Signal Processing functions architecture with the highest available bandwidth. In a dual G4+ architecture, the highest possible bandwidth from the and leading-edge computing. It combines outstanding memory sub-system is needed to constantly and efficiently and unprecedented performance level with low power feed the multiple Altivec engines in every PowerPC G4+. dissipation. Compared to any 7455 solutions, the 7457 The symmetrical topology of the PowerNode3 memory processor allows a dual 1 GHz application to fit into subsystem offers the highest bandwidth and latency severe embedded VME thermal constraints. In addition, capabilities required when processing large amounts of data the PowerNode3 meets Kontron´s technology insertion simultaneously from both G4+s. Acquisition can be performed policy which offers customers a clear performance directly into a shareable area of the main memory, and each upgrade path while protecting long-term investments G4+ can immediately start to work concurrently on the data in application software. set without any unnecessary buffer copies. This is by far the lowest possible latency for critical complex algorithms such as distributed and collaborative signal processing applications PowerPC G4+ 7457: Outstanding Performance for (e.g. beam forming). Demanding Signal Processing Application I/O: Two PCI busses allow Avignon to manage two data flows The PowerNode3 features the latest PowerPC G4+ 7457 from concurrently. Combined with high-performance networking Motorola, delivering 1 GHz performance with less than 8W. PMCs, it allows versatile configurations to meet the various Manufactured using Motorola’s Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) requirements of complex data-flow architectures. process technology, the new MPC7457 represents an optimal high-performance choice for power dissipation-sensitive applications. The processor is designed to reach speeds up to Software Offering 1.3 GHz with a core voltage of 1.3V and includes 512 KB of With the increased computing power and the versatility of onchip L2 cache (a 2x increase over the MPC7455’s L2 cache) the PowerPC G4+, it is now possible to use COTS hardware with support for up to 2 MB of backside L3 cache and 2 MB and software to build innovative solutions to handle signal of private SRAM. processing applications such as sonar, radar and medical imaging. But brute force number crunching is not enough to deliver a complete working system with dozens of VME G4+ ASIC Innovation for Better Performance, Seamless Software boards and associated PMC I/O links. To lower the time-to- Upgrade and Long-Term Support market for such complex systems, Kontron designed PowerLine, To maintain an innovative edge, Kontron aligns itself with key a set of tools that covers key areas: low-level message passing organizations and industry leaders. Our close development with DDlink VI and a full machine supervisor in the system. partnership with IBM has given Kontron early access to the latest chip designs and has resulted in jointly-designed ASICs for optimizing onboard resource access.
