conga Tech Notes
The conga-TCA5 has some technological features that require additional explanation. The following section will give the reader a better
understanding of some of these features.
7.1
Intel
®
Apollo Lake SoC Features
7.1.1
Processor Core
The SoC features Dual or Quad Out-of-Order Execution processor cores. The cores are grouped into Dual-Core modules with each module
sharing a 1 MB L2 cache (512 KB per core). Some of the features supported by the core are:
•
Intel 64 architecture
•
Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions
•
Support for Intel VTx-2 and VT-d
•
Thermal management support vial Intel Thermal Monitor
•
Uses Power Aware Interrupt Routing
•
Uses 14 nm process technology
Note
Intel Hyper-Threading technology is not supported (four cores execute four threads)
7.1.1.1
Intel Virtualization Technology
Intel
®
Virtualization Technology (Intel
®
VT) makes a single system appear as multiple independent systems to software. This allows multiple,
independent operating systems to run simultaneously on a single system. Intel
®
VT comprises technology components to support virtualization
of platforms based on Intel architecture microprocessors and chipsets. Intel
®
Virtualization Technology for IA-32, Intel
®
64 and Intel
®
Architecture
Intel
®
VT-x) added hardware support in the processor to improve the virtualization performance and robustness.
RTS Real-Time Hypervisor supports Intel VT and is verified on all current congatec x86 hardware.
Note
congatec supports RTS Hypervisor.
