GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms Broadens Appeal of ATCA, MicroTCA with High Performance Graphics Module for Demanding Imaging Applications
Telum(TM) 3001 brings advanced 2D, 3D and multimedia performance to design engineering, board development and debugging, laboratory analysis and testing, medical monitoring
o Leading edge 128 MByte ATI(TM) graphics processing unit (GPU)
o Resolutions to 1,920 x 1,200
o Dual display support
o Integrates x8 PCI Express(TM)
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA March 31, 2009 GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms, a unit of GE Enterprise Solutions, today announced the Telum(TM) 3001 Graphics Adapter AdvancedMC. Designed to deliver substantially more graphics performance and functionality than has previously been available for MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA, the Telum 3001 includes such advanced features as provision for dual digital and/or analog displays, very high resolutions and support for 'ganged' (configuring multiple graphics cards on the same platform) operation, giving even greater performance. These features make the Telum 3001 ideal for demanding video- and still image applications such as design engineering, board development and debugging, laboratory analysis and testing, and medical environments such as monitoring where the requirement Is to provide very high levels of image detail and to do so on two screens for, for example, side by side comparison.
"Until now, MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA customers have not had access to leading edge graphics capabilities, and that has limited the applications for which MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA can be used," said Rubin Dhillon, Communications Product Manager at GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms. "The Telum 3001 greatly broadens those potential applications. It joins a growing family of GE Fanuc AdvancedMC products that enable customers to more easily source all their MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA requirements in one place, optimizing compatibility, interoperability and cost of ownership."
Customer choice is optimized by the Telum 3001's support for Windows® XP/Vista, Linux®, Carrier Grade Linux®, Solaris® and VxWorks®.
At the heart of the Telum 3001 is a single silicon package that integrates the ATI(TM) M72-CSP128 GPU, 128 Mbytes of onboard memory and x8 PCI Express(TM), maximizing graphics throughput while minimizing impact on the host processor, for optimum performance - and at the same time minimizing power consumption. The M72 GPU leverages ATI's extensive expertise in PC gaming - the standard by which graphics quality is typically judged - and is capable of exceptional 2D, 3D and multimedia performance. Maximum resolutions supported by the Telum 3100 are 1,920 x 1,200 (DVI/digital) and 1,600 x 1,200 (VGA/analog), allowing customers to generate high quality, detailed images, while maximum flexibility, compatibility and performance are provided by two DVI- and two VGA connections, DirectX 10.0 compliance, OpenGL 2.0 support, MPEG 1/2/4 hardware acceleration and full speed 32-bit floating point processing.
Features such as PowerPlay(TM) balance performance and power for optimal energy efficiency, while CrossFireX(TM) substantially increases graphics processing capability by supporting multiple graphics cards in one system operating in ganged mode. The Telum 3001 also provides support for legacy applications with its VESA Mode. DirectX 10.0 compliance is featured, as is OpenGL 2.0 support. MPEG 1/2/4 hardware acceleration and full speed 32-bit floating point processing per component optimize graphics processing.
The Telum 3001 includes an AMC.0 Module Management Controller (MMC) subsystem that is IPMI v2.0 compliant and initializes board level parameters, monitors board voltage and temperature conditions, maintains system status, and manages hot swap operation for high availability applications. A microcontroller is used as the IPMI intelligence and connects to the AdvancedMC management bus. The Telum 3001 is hot swap capable (assuming the operating system provides such support) and is field replaceable in accordance with AMC.0.
