Single Board Computer with 2nd Generation Intel Core i7 Processors

GE Intelligent Platforms'SBC324 3U OpenVPX rugged single board computer has a quad core processoroperating at up to 2.1GHz with up to 8 GBytes of DDR3 1,333MHz memory forperformance in size-, weight- and power-constrained applications in harshenvironments such as unmanned vehicles. This is the second in GE IntelligentPlatforms' planned family of new products that use the 2nd Generation IntelCore i7 processors - formerly codenamed 'Sandy Bridge'.

Supported by GE's 3U VPX capabilities - including NVIDIA CUDA-based GPGPU functionality, graphics, switches, high density storage andrugged chassis - the SBC324 can be installed in traditional 3U VPX applicationssuch as command/control and in ISR (intelligence, surveillance,reconnaissance), radar/sonar and signal processing. The SBC324 also provides anupgrade for GE's MAGIC1 Rugged Display Computer which combines the throughput of a second generation Intel Corei7 processor with the parallel processing of an NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPGPU.

The SBC324 has a range of PCI Expressbackplane configurations, an XMC site with I/O, two 10/100/1000BaseT GigabitEthernet interfaces, VGA graphics, HD audio, two SATA channels, four USB 2.0ports, a PS/2 keyboard/mouse port and two RS-232/422 COM ports.

Software planned for the SBC324includes Deployed Test Software (BIT and BCS) plus operating system support forWindows 7, Open Linux, VxWorks, LynxOS and LynxOS-SE.
