Dual 7448 PrPMC Module From Extreme Engineering

1 January 1970

You're stymied. Your system isn't performing asmarketing advertised and you need to process more calls per second. Or,your system's number crunching ability is falling short of the LabDirector's requirements and you need more processors per blade. Or, maybeyou just need a simple Bellcore 1089 surge protected front panel GigabitEthernet port on a PrPMC. If you're looking for solutions to any or all ofthese problems, consider XPedite6200 from Extreme Engineering.

Extreme Engineering Solutions, a growing embedded products company,announces general availability of XPedite6200 today, a dual processornumber cruncher PrPMC powered by Freescale MPC7448s and QNX or Linux SMPsoftware, or WindRiver's VxMP. Several ATCA carrier cards can host up to(4) XPedite6200s, providing (8) total PowerPC processors in a singleAdvancedTCA slot. Talk about number crunching capability!

For the system engineer, here are the specifications:

-- Processor PMC (PrPMC) Module,-- Dual Freescale MPC7448 PowerPC processors with Altivec to 1.267GHz,-- Single Freescale MPC7448 to 1.4GHz as a build option,-- Marvell Discovery III MV64460 System Controller for superior DDR memory performance, PCI-X and multiple Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interfaces,-- 1 GB of DDR SDRAM,-- 128 MB FLASH,-- Front panel Bellcore 1089 compliant Ethernet port for development or port usage in the field, or PTMC Configuration 5 Ethernet ports routed to J14 for baseboard connectivity,-- In-house software support for QNX and Linux SMP software and VxWorks VxMP,-- Extreme's guaranteed 4 hour response time to technical questions. "XPedite6200 brings a new level of compute power and SMP software toPrPMCs," states Bret Farnum, VP Sales of Extreme Engineering. "Severalearly adopters of XPedite6200 have increased their system performance by anorder of magnitude compared to single processor solutions and a seeminglyinsignificant option like a front panel ethernet port is a tremendous'in-field service' advantage for our customers."
