VXS adds a high-speed, serial RapidIO fabric to the battle-tested VME architecture. This VITA 41.2 extension promises to increase the performance of fabric-limited applications by three times or more. Designers and developers are looking to VXS to solve defense embedded compute problems with serial RapidIO's unprecedented performance and processing density, while maintaining compatibility with the standard VME form factor. But is VXS ready for prime time? This seminar uses the PowerStream 6100 module set from Mercury Computer Systems as an example of how VXS can supercharge an RF channelizer application. Developers and innovators, who are considering using VXS for their applications, can benefit from this seminar, which will present: How VXS enhances VME with a high-speed serial fabric; A technology demonstration showing a radio frequency (RF) channelizing system using the PowerStream 6100's RF Tuner, A/D, Quad MPC7448 DSP modules, FPGA processing and I/O, and robust development environment; Leveraging an existing installed base of VME modules while gradually migrating to VXS VME developers can begin migrating applications immediately using the PowerStream 6100 starter kit. See how this next-generation VME innovation can unlock value in your application and allow it to reach new levels of performance.
