April 27, 2007[POV: Point Of View] When It Comes To Backplanes, Give RapidIO A Try
Engineers developing backplanes must cost-effectively achieve the appropriate level of performance for their application. When selecting a backplane technology, they must consider the performance options available, the realistic cost economies resulting from widespread deployment of the technology, and how much support and off-the-shelf software and hardware is available through the technology's vendor ecosystem. Ethernet became the incumbent backplane technology for a wide...
November 6, 2006[Technology Report] Design It Your Way With RapidIO
We've all faced the challenge of solving a new complex computational problem with a need for more processing power than any one device could handle. Multicore devices and FPGAs can help. But for a tightly coupled, fault-tolerant, and scalable solution, a multiple processor cache coherent non-uniform memory access (ccNUMA) interconnect is ideal. The RapidIO interconnect fabric technology is unique in its design as a low-overhead, small-footprint,...
