ESCRIPTION
The CHAMP-AV8 multi-processing board brings the floating point performance of the Intel
Core i7 architecture to VPX form factor standard. Utilizing a pair of second generation Intel
i7-2715QE or third generation Intel i7-3612QE quad-core processors, the CHAMP-AV8 delivers
up to 269 GFlops of performance.
The CHAMP-AV8 features a high-bandwidth PCIe architecture, featuring on-board PCIe
connections between the processors and the PMC/XMC site. With 8GB of user flash and 4GB
of SDRAM per node, the CHAMP-AV8 handles applications with demanding storage, data
logging and sensor processing needs.
The CHAMP-AV8 is supported with an extensive suite of software, including support for Linux
and VxWorks. Under the VxWorks OS, the Continuum Interprocessor Communication (IPC)
and Continuum Vector SSE optimized signal processing libraries are also available.
