Download the Data Sheet (0.6 MB - pdf file)
PowerNode5 is a rugged 6U VME clone of the IBM JS20 blade design. This new product provides a very high level of performance with a full binary compatibility with IBM JS20 blades servers, in a form factor fully adapted to any of today's embedded systems requirements.
The PowerNode5 is available in standard convection cooled and rugged conduction cooled versions for harsh environment applications. PowerNode5 features two IBM 970FX processors clocked at 1.6GHz - even the rugged conduction cooled version - and up to 2GB DDR SDRAM ECC memory with an outstanding 6.4 GB/s memory peak bandwidth.
The product is available as a board component (the PowerNode5) or pre-integrated in large systems (PowerMP9) with full data transport and management software based on standards such as MPI and HTTP and runs Linux 2.6.9 or Wind River VxWorks. In addition, the PowerNode5 features an on-board serial RapidIO switch fabric that allows the end-user to build a powerful and scalable signal processing calculator based on the PowerNode5 building block as well as two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
