VPX-300 Reference Platform 3U VPX Architecture Development Platform Using Front End/Back End Processing Elma’ Elma’s Target Application Prole (TAP) Concept The VPX-300 is an architecture reference platform designed to support development of systems targeted for use in compute intensive applications which are implemented by using FPGAs for Front End / Back End processing. Examples include radar signal processing, image processing, and other applications requiring high bandwidth signal processing and data communications. As a proven FPGA reference platform, the VPX-300 insures that all VPX boards in the system have been selected and tested for interoperability. If a standard OpenVPX backplane prole cannot support the needs of the end application, then a new topology or system architecture, called target application prole (TAP) must be dened and manufactured. The topology in the VPX-300 is a TAP developed by Elma to address a range of high bandwidth, compute intensive applications. It is based on an existing standard OpenVPX backplane. At Elma, we can design your TAP and deliver a complete system designed to precisely suit your application or your application development needs. Dual Cluster Architecture for Front-End/Back-End Processing • Designed around a Virtex-6 FPGA based front end processor (FEP) card • Combining data and control plane topology, the architecture supports multi-processor capability via two clusters termed front end and back end •The OpenVPX™ standard based backplane prole provides two separate star sections which are established through a data and control plane switch, handling both PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet links • All slots in the backplane include control plane interconnects. • The front end FPGA cluster performs incoming digital signal processing coupled via fabric using a Virtex-6 FPGA to a back end data cluster We’ll work with you to: • Determine the backplane topology for the required data ow – Central Switched, Star, Distributed or Full Mesh. • Determine if a standard OpenVPX backplane meets your needs Graphics and CUDA Support In addition to high bandwidth FPGA processing, the VPX-300 supports: • An NVIDIA 240T graphics processing (GPU) unit for high denition image processing and graphics acceleration. • Nvidia’s CUDA parallel computing architecture, which enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the GPU If a standard backplane does not exist: • Slot proles are dened which meet the I/O requirements of the application. • Module proles are identied that match the slot proles and meet the functional needs of the application. • A TAP prole is developed based on elements of backplane proles from the VITA 65 standard and the modules selected to meet your end application system requirements. The result is a backplane based on an OpenVPX standard, guaranteeing component interoperability.

Open the catalog to page 1VPX-300 Reference Platform VITA 65 Based VPX Backplane Design The backplane used in the VPX-300 is a TAP prole based on a 7-slot backplane prole listed in the VITA 65 OpenVPX standard, BKP3-CEN0715.2.3-n (Figure 1). A key element of this backplane prole is its support of Ethernet and PCIe switching capability in the data and control plane respectively. The backplane developed for the VPX-300 preserves the dual switching capability of the standard backplane while adding an expansion plane and a second compute cluster (Figure 2). This dual cluster architecture supports the front end and back...
