CHAMP-AV6 VPX quad 8640
The CHAMP-AV6 utilizes the VPX-REDI format to unleash the tremendous I/O bandwidth of its eight FreeScale PowerPC 8640 processor cores (Four 8640D dual-core processors). The local and off-board Serial RapidIO interfaces provide up to 10X the communications bandwidth that was achievable with the VME format. Signal processing applications with streaming dataflows will benefit greatly from the dual 64-bit DDR2 memory subsystem associated with each 8640.
