VPX
As a VME progeny standard, VITA/VSO's VPX (VITA 46) form factor provides much higher bandwidth than VME could ever deliver, among other plusses. But there was one issue with VPX: system-level incompatibilities among multiple vendors. Thus VPX's sister standard, OpenVPX (VITA 65) ... Morewas developed, defining modules, slots, and backplane profiles to ensure system-level interoperability. Meanwhile, the VPX/OpenVPX ecosystem continues to grow with additional burgeoning VITA standards such as VITA 62 (Power Supply Modules for VPX/OpenVPX) and VITA 66 (Optical Interconnect on VPX), with more standards sure to arise.

Backplane technology: It all starts at the top(ology)
Last month — Jerry Gipper, Editorial Director, OpenSystems MediaVPX has opened up the possibilities to designing high performance embedded computing platforms with open standard, open architectures that have never before been possible. Today’s computing platforms are multi-dimensional; you no longer select a parallel backplane and begin plugging in processing and I/O modules to build your embedded computing platform. There are many more options that must be evaluated and decisions made before you start ordering modules and integrating them into a complete system. This complexity has great advantages, but only to those who take the time to fully understand the technology.

Moving from HPEC to HPESC
Last month — Ray Alderman, VITAHPEC (High Performance Embedded Computing) is an acronym used by many VPX product vendors today. With the availability of fast processors like DSPs, GPGPUs, and the new i7 Intel machines, we have the “cycles” to process mountains of data. But, the first few generations of high-speed serial links still left us I/O-bound. The newest generations of fabric silicon are finally giving us the bandwidth to take advantage of the powerful processors in the market, initiating HPEC in many advanced applications.

VITA 75 vs. VPX: Optimizing unmanned vehicle thermal and payload efficiencies
4 months ago — Mike Jones, ADLINK Technology Inc.The fast pace of UAV/UGV/UUV evolution places an ever-increasing demand on size, weight, and power, while the range of use applications – from surveillance to air defense to communications relays – and interest from national security organizations beyond military continue to grow. To accommodate increasing requirements and diminishing budgets, public contractors and private vendors are moving to Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C)-savvy standards-based systems design, such as by utilizing the smaller envelopes of VITA 75 small form factors to replace existing 3U and 6U VPX technologies. This allows the integration of future payload capabilities into the space available in existing mobile platforms.
