Overview
Duet is a dual-DSP coprocessor board which features a 4M or 5M Virtex-II
Pro user reconfigurable FPGA, plus a PMC/XMC module site with JN4 and
Rocket I/O connectivity to the baseboard Virtex FPGA. Unusually dense and
small, Duet is packaged as a 3U cPCI board with an advanced architecture
that provides superb inter-processor connectivity and direct hardware
access to high-performance PMC-based external analog and communications
modules, to deliver blazing performance and extreme flexibility for
advanced signal capture and real-time processing applications.
The board features dual C6416 DSPs interconnected via dedicated,
bidirectional, 800 MB/s FIFO links. Each processor enumerates as a 32-bit
peripheral on a local 33 MHz PCI bus providing bridge-isolated access to
the PMC module site from either or both processors simultaneously. A The
large, Virtex II-Pro FPGA is directly accessible by each processor at
rates to 260 MB/s via EMIF-B or by an installed PMC module via the
dedicated 64-bit JN4 or rocketI/O interfaces. This supports a myriad of
data flow scenarios, including preprocessing of PMC data by the Virtex II
loic prior to post-processing by one or both DSPs. Multiple Velocia-family
(Duet, Quadia and Quixote) baseboards may be assembled into an
arbitrarily-large meshes using dedicated rocket I/O or SFP links or via
communications via the PCI system bus.
Duet is an ideal platform for integrating high performance DSP and I/O
into advanced signal processing, data acquisition and real-time
applications such as telecom, RADAR, SONAR and wireless communications.
Top-level performance and amazing flexibility and ease-of-use are obtained
through an innovative integration of the most advanced DSP and logic
devices, large independent logic chips exclusively for use by the
end-user, and the best utilization of today�s high-speed communication
protocols. |
