ANSI recently ratified VITA's OpenVPX system specification's second edition as "ANSI/VITA 65.0-2012." Always planned as a live, growing spec, this recent updated version of OpenVPX comes as no surprise to the industry, and includes new profiles for peripheral, payload, and switch slots in addition to backplane profiles that support VITA 67 coaxial connectors and InfiniBand.

The Intel 3rd Generation Core i7 processor (which was codenamed "Ivy Bridge") has found a home inside Mercury Computer Systems' LDS6524 module, which is part of the company's Ensemble 6000 Series. In 6U OpenVPX style, the module features a Protocol Offload Engine Technology (POET) FPGA to provide switching and bridging of the fabrics in addition to high-bandwidth communication fabrics both on and off the board. Meanwhile, the processor runs at 2.3 GHz, proffering peak performance of 147 GFLOPS.

Supercomputing with VPX?

Jerry Gipper, Editorial Director — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 16:51:28 +0000

Supercomputers are the top echelon of computing. They are used in the most demanding of data processing applications. Building one has always been left to the expertise of the IBMs and Crays of the the world. The advent of the microprocessor started the shift to processor complexes that could be tightly coupled through high speed [...]

Avionics retrofits are still benefiting from VPX's "grandparent" (or at least "parent") technology — VME. Compare today's VME card with a VME card built five years ago and there will be 2x more horsepower and 2x more functionality. More at: http://opsy.st/wGr0cU
