The CHAMP-AV6 utilizes the VPX-REDI format to unleash the tremendous I/O bandwidth of its eight FreeScale PowerPC 8641 processor cores (Four 8641D dual-core processors). The local and off-board Serial RapidIO interfaces provide up to 10X the communications bandwidth that was achievable with the VME format. Signal processing applications with streaming dataflows will benefit greatly from the dual 64-bit DDR2 memory subsystem associated with each 8641.
Developers migrating from VME-based CHAMP systems will find a familiar software environment with VxWorks, Continuum Vector DSP library and IPC inter-processor communications library so that they will quickly harness the new power and performance of the AV6 for single and multi-board systems.
