VME multiprocessor board for embedded advanced signal- and image-processing applications

GE Fanuc Embedded Systems in Huntsville, Ala., is offering a multiprocessor board for signal- and image-processing applications. The NEXUS Quattro is a quad-processor 6U VME board based on Freescale’s MPC7447A and MPC7448 processors containing PowerPC cores. This new product is GE Fanuc’s latest member of the NEXUS family of multiprocessors. Available in rugged and benign-environment versions, the NEXUS Quattro is for radar, sonar, signals intelligence, and image processing applications deployed in harsh operational environments. The board features a flexible asymmetric multiprocessing architecture that allows the four processors to operate as independent computing nodes. It can operate as a single multiprocessor or in multiple-board combinations to provide an integrated, high-performance computing solution that addresses complex array processing needs in customers’ systems.
