VMP2 Tough requirements ? The VMP2 does not mind CPU, Memory and DMA The VMP2 strictly continues the VME number cruncher line started by the VMP1. It is a lean CPU design with only those functions required for basic industrial calculation tasks. It addresses the need for increasing computing capacity while reducing the number of system components and taking up less space. The board is based on the MPC8245, a highly integrated microprocessor containing a PowerPC MPC603e core with FPU. With the VMP2 design the best possible MPC8245 performance is achieved with a clock frequency of 330 MHz and...
