Inter-Processor Communications Software Suite for Distributed Multi-Processing systems NEW
FusionIPC is designed for use in demanding signal processing applications such as radar and signal intelligence where the workload exceeds the processing capability of a single CPU. FusionIPC utilizes the Serial RapidIO fabric on VMETRO's new VPX processing boards.
- Targeting architectures based on distributed memory models
- FusionIPC device drivers handle dynamic bulk data movement for peer to peer transfers based on Shared Memory Buffers
- Avoids excessive data copying through software stack freeing CPU for data processing
- Low overhead approach minimizes latency and maximizes performance from hardware
- Small footprint optimized for embedded applications

- Article: The FPGA Mezzanine Card: Emerging VITA 57 (FMC) standard brings modularity to FPGA designs
FPGAs are increasingly utilized in embedded system designs, especially in the I/O portion of embedded systems to implement complex I/O interfaces and perform in-stream data processing. A problem in the industry has been that the I/O interfaces are tightly coupled to FPGAs. This has limited the amount of reuse in FPGA designs because boards have to be designed specifically to handle a particular type of I/O. It has also limited the availability of COTS FPGA boards because it is difficult to design an FPGA with the right I/O for a wide range of customers. The new VITA 57 standard, also known as the FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) addresses these issues. The FMC standard defines an I/O mezzanine module that works intimately with an FPGA. An overview is presented of the FMC standard and the benefits it provides to developers.
