VPX cards tackle high-performance processing

The FPE320 FPGA processor card, VPX3-450 FPGA processor card, and VPX3-127 single-board-computer card make up a rugged three-card 3U VPX high-performance processing system. The FPE320 supports Xilinx Virtex-5 SX240T, LX220T/LX330T, and FX200T FPGAs with a FMC (VITA 57) mezzanine site for I/O.

The VPX3-450 can have one Xilinx Virtex-5 Platform FPGA (LX155T, or SX95T), 512 Mbytes of DDR2 SDRAM with 2.2-Gbyte/s peak bandwidth, and a 1-GHz 8640D dual-core processor with 1 Gbyte of DDR2 SRAM, a PCIe switch, and a four-lane backplane fabric port. The VPX3-127 SBC has a Freescale MPD8640D processor with an extensive I/O, up to 2 Gbytes of DDR2 SDRAM, two four-lane PCIe fabric ports, or one four-lane PCI Express port and one four-lane SRIO port. (FPE320, from $19.950; PVPX3-450, from $12,500; VPX3-127, from $6,744 — 8 weeks ARO.)
