GE PCI-5565PIORC Reflected memory node card

The GE PCI-5565PIORC reflective memory node card provides a high-speed, low-latency, deterministic interface that allows data to be shared between up to 256 independent systems (nodes) at rates of up to 170 Mbyte/s. Each reflective memory board can be configured with 128mb or 256m onboard SDRAM. Local SDRAM provides fast read access times for stored data. Writes are stored in local SDRAM and broadcast to other reflective memory nodes via high-speed fiber data paths. Data transfers between nodes are software-transparent, so there is no I/O overhead. Send and receive fifo buffered data during peak data rates to optimize host and bus performance and maintain high data throughput. The PCI-5565PIORC is RoHS compliant. It improves PIO read performance and firmware and can be upgraded in the field.

· Redundant transmission mode for additional error suppression

· Error detection

Any node on the network can generate an interrupt in any other node on the network or in all network nodes with a single command

· A separate DMA channel

128mbyte or 256mbyte SDRAM reflection memory

· Transfer rate 43 Mbyte/s(4-byte packet) to 170 Mbyte/s(64-byte packet)

· Dynamic packet size, 4 to 64 bytes of data

· Can connect multi-mode fiber up to 300m, single-mode fiber up to 10km

· Up to 256 nodes

Data written to memory on one node is also written to memory on all nodes on the network

· High-speed, easy to use fiber optic network (serial 2.12 Gbaud)

· No processor overhead

· The processor does not participate in network operation
