VXS1 - Infiniband Enabled VME PowerPC SBC

Supported Technologies / Standards: InfiniBand

The VXS1 is a rugged, 6U VME PowerPC single board computer that works with other SBS products to bring 10GBps InfiniBand switched fabric technology to VME systems, utilizing the VITA 41 specification.

The VXS1 features a G4 PowerPC processor with core processing speeds from 500 MHz to 1 GHz and a 167 MHz system bus. It includes two independent InfiniBand 4x links through VME_P0 and provides InfiniBand and system control traffic termination.

The VXS1 also provides I/O connectivity through two GigE ports to the backplane, one 64-bit 66MHz PCI bus interface, one 64-bit 66/133 MHz PCI-X interface, and two MPSC RS-232 and RS-422 rear I/O ports.

The VXS1 also hosts a single-wide PMC site that supports a PMC module for expanding I/O capability. The PMC site is attached to the 64-bit 66 MHz PCI Bus 1, which it shares with the VME bus bridge. This PMC site also includes a 64-bit I/O bus that connects PMC_J14 to VME_P2, per VITA 35.

Leveraging the VITA 41 specification, which enables switched serial fabrics on VME systems, the VXS1 is designed to provide directly-connected, VME-based processing power for InfiniBand-based systems.

The VXS1 connects directly to other InfiniBand infrastructure including host channel adapters and switches in various form factors.

The VXS1 is offered in ruggedized conduction-cooled and convection-cooled processor card configurations. It is VITA 1.7 compatible.
