VMETRO Unveils HPE640, HPE720 6U VPX/REDI Hybrid Processing Engines
VMETRO, a leader in embedded computing solutions based on standards such as VXS, VPX, XMC and FMC that utilize multi-gigabit serial interconnects, announced two new 6U VPX/REDI hybrid processing engines (HPE), the HPE640 and the HPE720. These products integrate Freescale Power Architecture[tm] MPC8641D dual-core PowerPC processors for general purpose processing with Xilinx® Virtex®-5 FPGAs in a single slot. Both boards, available in air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions, integrate the PowerPC processors with the Virtex-5 FPGAs, front-panel I/O, and VPX backplane connectivity. These two new products, along with VPX products previously announced by VMETRO, provide high-performance digital signal processing capabilities for a wide range of demanding Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) applications.
