More Information

SKY Computers Merlin 500 PowerPC Compute Daughter Card Overview

Features:

  • (4) 500 MHz MPC7410 PowerPC Processors
  • Compatible with SKY Computers' 6U and 9U VME Boards and HPC Computer Systems
  • 16 GFLOPS Per Daughter Card
  • 64 to 256 MB SDRAM Per Processor
  • 667 MB/Sec Memory Bandwidth on Each Processor
  • 667 MB/Sec Inter-Processor Communication
The Merlin 500 PowerPC Daughtercard is available for SKY Computers' 6U and 9U VME boards and the HPC computer systems. Merlin uses four 500 MHz MPC7410 PowerPC processors configured in a cluster on each daughtercard to provide up to 16 GFLOPS of performance. Each MPC7410 has its own local bank of 64, 128 or 256 MB of SDRAM that is accessed over the processor's 83.3 MHz local memory bus at 667 MB/sec. The memory of other processors on the daughtercard can also be accessed over the 667 MB/sec local bus. Global memory and memory on other daughtercards is accessible through the 320 MB/sec SKYchannel interface.

The MPC7410 processors are directly connected to a 64-bit SKYchannel motherboard interface. A DMA engine in the SKYchannel interface enables computing to occur concurrently with the transfer of data anywhere in the 16 Terabyte memory-mapped SKYchannel address space. The application developer can choose between memory mapped access or advanced DMA access to shared memory with equally efficient SKYchannel access.

The SKY Computers Merlin 500 PowerPC Compute Daughter Card may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
