Motorola VMEbus Single-Board
Computer Breaks 300MBps Barrier
Motorola Computer Group, a part of Motorola Inc, announced the availability
date of its first masterpiece, part of the VME Renaissance, the MVME6100
single-board computer. Motorola is first to market with a product that takes
advantage of a radical new VMEbus to PCI-X bridge, using the VMEbus two-edge
source synchronous transfer (2eSST) protocol for significantly faster VMEbus
data transfer rates. Transferring more than 300MBps on the VMEbus, (compared
with VME64's typical 40MBps transfer rate), the MVME6100 also preserves more
than 20 years of VMEbus legacy by remaining compatible with previous
generations of VMEbus products and protecting users existing investment in
VMEbus technology.
"The MVME6100's innovative design uses carefully chosen technology to give
optimum throughput and breakthrough data transfer rates through every part of
the system," said Dave Barker, product manager of Motorola Computer Group.
"We've balanced the processing, memory, bus and I/O subsystems to dramatically
increase performance for VMEbus applications."
Using the Tundra Tsi148 in 2eSST mode, the MVME6100 transfers data across
the
VMEbus at 320MBps. The VMETRO Vanguard VMEbus 2eSST analyzer was used to
measure burst transfer rates of 310MBps and for sustained transfer rates of
300MBps.
