[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nTundra's RapidIO Solution Enables High Performance Processing for Board\nInterconnect and Across the Backplane\n\n\nSCOTTSDALE, AZ, May 5 /CNW Telbec/ - Tundra Semiconductor Corporation\n(TSX: TUN), a leader in System Interconnect, announces that VMETRO, a leader\nin embedded computing solutions, has selected Tundra's Tsi578(TM) Serial\nRapidIO(R) Switch for its new Quad-Core Processing Engine and Single Board\nComputer. VMETRO recently launched two new 6U VPX-REDI offerings, which use\nthe Tsi578 for large-scale DSP aggregation and also Tundra's Tsi148(TM) VME\nBridge, the highest bandwidth VMEbus bridge available today.\n\n\n"RapidIO is the fabric of choice for our customers' embedded\nmulti-processing applications and RapidIO switches from Tundra are the ideal\ninterconnect choice for VMETRO. By using Tundra's Tsi578 RapidIO switch, our\nVPX multi-processor boards provide a system fabric with the features our\ncustomers demand - low latency, low overhead, high throughput, peer-to-peer\ncommunication, reliability, and scalability. No other fabric offers this\ncomplete set of features," said Mike Jadon, Chief Technology Officer, Embedded\nProducts for VMETRO, Inc. "Customer's deploying VMETRO's new MPE730 and SBC731\nwith RapidIO across the VPX backplane will get the performance and reliability\nthey need for their multi-processing applications," continued Jadon.\n\n\n"VMETRO's selection of the Tsi578 demonstrates the positive market\nresponse to our leading edge products," said Tracy Richardson, Vice President\nMarketing, Tundra Semiconductor. "In addition to using Tundra's\nindustry-leading VME Bridge, the Tsi148, Critical Embedded System customers\nare now making use of RapidIO Switches to enhance performance and add\nscalability to their next generation designs."\n\n\nVMETRO's MPE730 is a VPX-REDI quad-core processing board with dual\nPMC/XMC mezzanine sites and on-board Serial RapidIO and PCI Express(R) fabric\nconnectivity. Utilizing dual Freescale Power Architecture(TM) MPC8641D\nprocessors, the four cores provide significant processing power while still\nmeeting rugged, extended temperature convection and conduction-cooled\nrequirements. Combining this processing power with the flexibility of dual\nPMC/XMC sites and the Serial RapidIO fabric enables powerful distributed\nm...
