The PowerMP4-60 consists of a 19" 7U rack and 7 VME64x slots. Board configurations of up to eight PowerPC G4 7457 CPU boards operating at 1 GHz for a total computing power of 60 Gflops, and a PENTXM board operating at 1.6 GHz are integrated and fully qualified.
The PowerMP4-60's serial Rapid I/O switch fabric has an aggregate bandwidth of 2.4 GB/s, a feature that makes it possible to sustain the maximum throughput between all processors. The PowerPC nodes are interconnected through a low latency, high bandwidth RapidI/O network., which can be routed either through the back-plane using P0 or through font panel connectors depending on customer preference.
The system's FPDP stage can perform data acquisition at 100 MB/s. The PowerMP4-60 includes MPI communications plus SNMP control and monitoring. The development tool set includes Spyker, Totalview and VSIPRO, among others.
The intel board is operating under Linux 2.4. The PowerPC cluster is proposed under, LynxOS 4.0 or VxWorks 6.1. A wide range of fully-integrated development tools (compilers, configuration management, debuggers, trace tools, etc.) are also part of the PowerMP software package.
