The PowerNode3+ is a single/dual 1.4 GHz PowerPC G4+ high-end computing node featuring enhanced connectivity and reduced power consumption. PowerNode3+ is designed for state-of-the-art applications requiring real-time data and signal processing, including sonar, radar, medical imaging and machine vision systems. The board sets a new standard for low power consumption in a high-end node, with a typical draw of 35W for dual CPU configuration.
The features of the PowerNode3+ include:
· Single and dual Motorola PowerPC G4 7448 processors running at 1.4 GHz
· Outstanding computing performance and improved connectivity
· 1MB internal L2 cache clocked at processor frequency
· VME 2eSST (150 MB/s) capability
· Up to 1 GB onboard SDRAM accessible at the local bus speed of 133 MHz
· Two PMC slots (one 64-bit 33/66 MHz and one 32-bit 33/44 MHz)
· Supports VxWorks and LynxOS
· Available in all ruggedization levels
