Mezzanine Card is powered by Intel(TM) Penryn processor.
October 27, 2009 -
Ensemble(TM) 2000 Series LDS2100 Advanced Mezzanine Card features Intel(TM) Penryn processor and FPGA-based bridge, providing access to both RapidIO and 10 GbE interfaces. Bridging processing/bandwidth gap, unit enables Intel processors to become active data processing nodes within MicroTCA or ATCA high-performance computing fabric. It also allows signal and network processing algorithms implemented on processor to be replicated/scaled up via RapidIO interconnect.
Mercury Computer Systems Announces Industry's First Intel-Based, RapidIO-Enabled Advanced Mezzanine Card
Mercury's high-performance Ensemble(TM) 2000 product family is enhanced with the Intel Penryn Fabric-Enabled LDS2100
CHICAGO, Oct. 21 / / - Mercury Computer Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRCY), a leading provider of high-performance, embedded computing solutions for image, sensor, and signal processing applications, announced the industry's first available RapidIO-enabled Intel processing engine at SUPERCOMM 2009 in Chicago, Illinois.
The Ensemble 2000 Series LDS2100 Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) can be combined with the wide range of Ensemble 2000 family AMCs to create powerful, scalable MicroTCA and AdvancedTCA (ATCA) form factor solutions. The LDS 2100 contains an Intel(TM) Penryn processor and an innovative FPGA-based bridge, providing access to both RapidIO and 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
"The LDS2100 AMC delivers the key missing element in open standards-based, real-time computing power platforms: integration between the Intel processing world and the industry-accepted RapidIO standard," said Michael Katz, Director of Commercial Products for Mercury Computer Systems. "Until the advent of the LDS2100, there was no way to integrate the processing capabilities available in Intel architectures with the high-performance intra-system bandwidth of RapidIO."
The LDS2100's innovative architecture bridges the processing/bandwidth gap and enables Intel processors to become active data processing nodes within a MicroTCA or ATCA high-performance computing fabric. Capabilities such as signal and network processing algorithms implemented on a single Intel processor can now be easily replicated and scaled up via the RapidIO interconnect to accelerate demanding applications such as ground-based radar and software-defined routers for fourth-generation (4G) networks.
The LDS2100 AMC is scalable, optimized for real-time applications, and balances processing power with high-bandwidth interprocessor communications and external I/O bandwidth. These innovative technologies are a part of all Ensemble AMC's and systems. In addition to the native support for a RapidIO interface, the LDS2100 has optional support for 10G Ethernet interfaces, enabling scaling outside of a single chassis footprint.
The Ensemble LDS 2100 is available now. For more information, visit Mercury in Booth #3312 at SUPERCOMM 2009, visit www.mc.com/LDS2100, or contact Mercury at (866) 627-6951 or info@mc.com.
