     Press Release - CHAMP AV8
UNITRONIX introduces Curtiss Wright Controls' CHAMP AV8, an OpenVPX DSP Board.
Curtiss Wright Controls have introduced the CHAMP-AV8, its first rugged, high performance OpenVPX DSP (digital signal processing) engine based on the new quad-core Intel® Core TM i7-2715QE processor. The new CHAMP-AV8 is also Curtiss-Wright Controls’ first DSP engine to offer IDT's upcoming Gen2 PCIe-to-sRIO protocol conversion bridging semiconductor product, bringing the performance and bandwidth advantages of sRIO switch fabrics to the 2 generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor-based embedded computing applications.
“The combination of four cores and doubling of floating point performance provided by the new Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX) instruction set is very exciting for our signal processing customers,” said Lynn Patterson, vice president and general manager of Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing. “With Intel’s Embedded Computing Division’s commitment to long life-cycle supply, these new processors will power a new generation of higher performance and power efficient radar and signal intelligence systems.”
The CHAMP-AV8 multi-processing board brings the floating-point performance of the quad-core Intel® Core TM i7-2715QE processor to the OpenVPX form factor standard. Utilizing a pair of processors, the CHAMP-AV8 delivers performance rated at up to 269 GFLOPs. With a 21GB/s (peak) DDR3 memory subsystem connected directly to the processor, the Intel® Core TM i7-2715QE is able to maximize the throughput of its Intel AVX vector processing units and process larger vectors at peak rates significantly greater than was possible with previous AltiVec™-based systems. The CHAMP-AV8 features a high-bandwidth PCI Express® (PCIe) architecture, with onboard PCIe connections between the processors and the XMC site. With 8GB of Flash and up to 16GB of SDRAM, the CHAMP-AV8 is designed for applications with demanding storage, data logging and sensor processing requirements.
The CHAMP AV8 is available in Q2 of 2011. For further information please contact UNITRONIX on 61-2-49773511
